	An Ur-Quan captain can also send out pairs of small, one-man fighters armed with lasers to harass the enemy. A swarm of these can team up to puncture an enemy ship's hull in seconds. Each fighter has only a limited supply of life support and fuel and must return to the Dreadnought after its brief sortie. Fighters are not affected by gravity. If they encounter a planet they will 'scoot' around it in short choppy motions. Asteroid ~~encounters~~ are lethal to fighters.

	The word "finesse" is not present in a Dreadnought captain's vocabulary. Victory is nominally achieved through liberal application of superior firepower. The relatively high firing rate of the main weapon lends itself to this strategy quite nicely, but the Dreadnought's sub-optimal turning rate can complicate things. Fighters vary in effectiveness depending upon what they are deployed against and are usually ideal against slow targets. Be wary, for some ships are equipped with weapon systems which can easily shoot down any number of fighters.		The word "finesse" is not present in a Dreadnought captain's vocabulary.
