Lancer Heavy Figher

This is the standard imperial heavy fighter being removed from service, with the remaining non mothballed units mostly stationed into local defense squadrons, with the 30 and 10 ton fighters used as carrier fighters.

This long-range interplanetary space fighter is designed to boost to high speed, to catch and kill high-velocity threats before they reach its carrier or base. It uses a 100-ton (SM +6), 21 meter unstreamlined hull. Its forward hull is heavily armored, as it relies on head-on attacks using its lethal spinal mount.

In raw combat power this fighter is still good even compared to newer designs due to the armor, heavy weapon and reasonable thrust, and the lack of new 100 ton fighters, but the logistics cost of a single 100 ton fighter are higher than two modern 30 ton fighters and the two will be more powerful combined.
