TransGalMeg "Rihkxyrk" (rik-zerk) Attack Ship
(Black Sun Heavy Fighter)

Being a relatively sluggish ship hasn't made the "Rihkxyrk" a push-over. Quite the contrary. The defenses and weapon load of most "Rihkxyrk" assault fighters is frightening, and is their hallmark. It can be very demoralizing to line up a "Rihkxyrk" in your sights and salvo off missiles and cannon pulses only to see them sloughed off by heavy-duty shielding systems and thick, heavy armor. Most "Rihkxyrk" pilots are an unflappable group, developing a high level of confidence in themselves and their machines after wading through heavy fire and coming through undamaged.
