Description
Combining elements associated with the TIE and Lambda design families, the Lancet provides mobile aerial siege fire with laser cannon self-defense. Its speed permits rapid repositioning, but the specialized proton-beam mission requires escorts and careful target coordination. Army Air Corps batteries use Lancets against hardened installations and massed armor.
