The Union space superiority fighter utilises a sceptre fuselage so it comes as no surprise that it has more cargo space than its contempories. Although affecting its maneouvering ability, many Union pilots are quite happy to trade this off against the much larger hull and thus weapons capacity the Horpor can provide.
As with many Union designs, the ship, being essentially a heavy modification of an existing design has some unique design features, the Horpor, or 'Terrible Crab' in Rashkiran, takes its name from the two claw like weapon sponsons slung low either side of its cockpit.
