Notes 
 The Fang-type is the true SDB development of the initial Cuspid concept
seen above, although it is only the size of a heavy fighter.  Its
long-endurance and habitability allow it to perform most traditional SDB
missions, and its high-G performance allows it to handle with the best of
the fighters in Charted Space. 
 Small-to-moderate-sized particle accelerators like those fitted to the
Cuspid and Fang (they are only large in comparison to these small vessels)
are known in naval circles as "varmint guns."  They are able to rapidly
inflict killing damage on small starships, and their EMP side-effects make
short work of non-Fb computers.  Contrary to popular entertainment
programs, fighters are able to take on full-size warships only under the
most unusual of circumstances.  Fang SDBs are able to quickly strip away
the "nuisance vessels" in a vampire force, allowing the large fleet units
to quickly dispose of the major units. 
 The Fangs' dual purpose (missile/beam) MFDs allow them to trade their PA
pods for the missile pods seen on the inspection launch.  Performance with
these pods falls to 4Gs with 64 G-turns (3.125cubic meters each), and crew
complement falls to four. 
 Fuel scoops allow the skimming of 280 m^3/hr, or 43 minutes for full fuel
load.
