Overview[]
This craft harks back to the days of the stupendous P.666 v.Prototype, in the context of it being the perfect AG racer of its time. It certainly seems that way with significantly superior thrust and stability, and its speed and weapon power that rivals quite a few of the top teams (it only loses to Natasha Belmondo's Xios SMF-X in terms of weapon power). Based on its numbers alone, it boasts superlatives with speed, thrust and lateral stability, and is the lightest craft in the entire game.
The only front that lets it down is the shielding. Unusually for a fully modified craft, neither one exceeds 100 collision points, making it quite fragile. The brake force is a similar problem, but unnecessary due to the craft's tight handling on its own. It is also ironic as Piranha once manufactured airbrakes back in the earlier days of the sport.
Myima Tsarong's Swiftkiller is the only craft in the game that you could modify to maximum levels in all stats, whereas Jann Shlaudecker's craft can be modified all to Level 5, plus Level 6 thrust.

Trivia[]
- Because of Piranha's acquisiton of Assegai at the time, this craft is said to use Assegai technology to enhance its manoeuvrability.
- Ironically, the technical data for this craft does not mention Assegai in any way.
