Ever since its first deployment, the Lao Tze fighter has become synonymous with the White Guard, whose elite knights use this craft as their vehicle of choice. These fighters are well suited for escort duties and space superiority, combining heavy armour with overbearing firepower. The Lao Tze's signature weapon is a rapid-fire mass driver that is capable of dealing heavy damage to all target types. The weapon is usually reserved for the rare occasions where Lao Tze's are tasked to defend their targets against heavy enemy assaults. Though the fighter has powerful engines, the craft's manoeuvrability suffers both from its weight and a lack of manoeuvring thrusters.
