The Rex was designed purely for fighter vs. fighter combat in response to the large number Terran fighters.

Not much is known in detail about the Rex’s origins. All that is known is from recordings of sightings by Terran vessels taken during scattered skirmishes. Since its first sighting, there have been an increasing number of Rex sighting throughout borderspace.

(From wreckage recovered) The pilot sits in an almost laying down position with their feet pointing towards the nose. The pilot’s head sits just a bit past the mid point of the craft. The walls of the cockpit are lined with several high tech devices [believed] to be used when in dogfights. The devices and computers crowd around the pilot chair making the cockpit feel like a coffin.

The Rex fighter craft is covered in a armor made of an odd alloy (scientist still unsure of its origin) that has a reddish tint to it.

Several electronic systems on board the craft. Most of the systems still remain a mystery as the systems were either to damaged in a dogfight to be of use, or they had fail safe that short circuited the system.

Self-destruct-[One of the fail safes mention previously], after several crafts blew up upon recovery by naval forces, it is presumed that the Rex is equipped with a self destruct to prevent dratho tech from falling into the hands of the Terran Republic.

[Successfully] recovered wreckages showed a highly advanced air recycle system, which is much more advanced then other drathonian fighter crafts.

Wreck remains showed a small compact engine, but despite its size it put out well around 4x the amount of thrust as a common Scourge fighter engine

(From record taken during combat) This craft seems to have relatively weak shielding systems, which can be disabled with one or two well places shots. Craft relies on speed and agility to avoid enemy fire.

On most all of the craft we have seen the same basic complements of weapons.
