Salamander class Missile Fighter
Here is a nice min/max design for a TL9 fighter. 10 tons is a nice size to get a pilot and gunner and a fairly good computer at the TL (Model 3s require 1 EP, which would give this fighter agility of 0). These are commonly seen in connection with the Asbestos class Carrier

Architects fees of MCr 0.224), MCr 17.880 in Quantity CONSTRUCTION TIME 5 Weeks Singly, 4 Weeks in Quantity COMMENTS The Salamander class missile fighters are a compact TL9 design for local defence use. They have 6G performance with agility of 6. The class name salamander comes from their wartime load of nuclear missiles. Individual fighters are given only tail numbers officially, though many pilots choose pet names for their craft. Power Plant 10 is the minimum for 1 EP in this size hull. Because this design doesn't have a bridge, the computer works in combat as a Model 1.
