The versatile one-man Wraith fighters are a new addition to the Colonial space forces. Traditionally, most space battles took place between large capitol ships and smaller gunships, but Tarsonian technicians found that small, dynamic high-speed fighters could repeatedly deal damage to large ships while still evading most defensive battery attacks. The Wraith is the newest of these space superiority fighters, and is armed with not only air-to-air missiles, but also utilizes a belly-mounted burst laser for ground attacks.
Cloaking Field
- The new CF/A-17 Wraith features a built-in cloaking field which runs off of the fighter's main power supply. When active, the cloaking field hides the Wraith from enemy view. This has proven invaluable in both base defense and strike operations.
EVula's Notes:
Wraiths! Yes! My favorite Terran unit! Wraiths are excellent units against the Zerg, since they can take out Overlords very quickly, and Spore Colonies don't pose much of a problem. The Protoss, however, have Observers, which can reveal the Wraith's cloak, and still stay hidden. However, using wave after wave of Wraiths has won me many a game. :)
