The Scorpius is a two-seat heavy fighter manufactured by Roberts Space Industries. Featuring a adaptable bi-wing design and an innovative rail-mounted remote turret, the Scorpius provides exceptional fire coverage. This capability makes it suitable for a range of missions, whether defensive or offensive in nature. [1]

Features

Weapons
With a total of eight Size 3 gun hard-points as well as racks that hold up to sixteen Size 2 missiles, the Scorpius offers a powerful sting against any enemy craft.
Powerful on-rails turret
With 4x Size 3 ballistic cannons, the Scorpius' turret offers unprecedented range, coverage, and firepower.

Lore

The Scorpius was designed by RSI's Applied Innovations division in Kilian and tested by the 999th Test Squadron of the UEE Navy.[1]

Development

2021-04-19 The Scorpius was first spotted in game in Alpha 3.13.1 Public Test Universe (PTU-7421225) build. It was intended to be showcased in the RSI expo in the 2951 Invictus Launch Week event.[2]
2021-05 Its loaner vehicles were the F7C-M Super Hornet and Hurricane.
2022-05-19 It was released in Alpha 3.17.1.[3]

Trivia

The ship is named after the ancient constellation Scorpius, which is located in the southern celestial hemisphere where it sits near the center of the Milky Way. Its representation as a scorpion is related to the Greek legend of the scorpion that stung Orion to death and is said to be why Orion sets as Scorpius rises in the night sky. [4]
