Avenger

The Ilwrath Avenger is about average in terms of speed and manuverability. Its primary weapon is a short-range flamethrower known as the Hellfire Spout. The Avenger's quick recharge rate allows it to maintain a nearly constant stream of flame. Its secondary armament is an optical cloaking device which makes the ship appear pitch-black.

Due to the contraints of the combat system, the cloaking device is not very effective at concealing the Avenger. This is because the combat screen is centered on the middle of an imaginary line drawn between the two ships, and the location of a cloaked Ilwrath can be approximated by mirroring the location of the visible ship. The main advantage of the cloaking device is that it defies homing projectiles, causing such weapons to lose their lock.
