-While the Galactic Navy still uses thousands of these small ships for reconnaisance and as a light fighter, in recent years this ship  is more commonly seen as a trader escort. Value-conscious traders hauling a bellyful of cargo in large ships like the [[Anaconda (Oolite)|Anaconda]] use the Sidewinder to make up for the large ship's lack of manoeuverability.

 It has no hyperspace capability. The normal technique is for the Sidewinder pilot to keep the ship close to the 'mothership', and then use its wormhole to reach the destination. Being small, many Sidewinders can pass through the wormhole without collapsing it, meaning a trader using this ship as an escort is likely to come out of the other end of the jump with a full compliment of escorts.

 It is increasingly being found as a [[Piracy|pirate]] escort, too - inexpensive to equip, and if remotely piloted, cheap to lose in battle, pirates have begun to use this ship to attack traders before arriving in their larger, slower and less combat-ready cargo hauler to pick over the remains. Be suspicious of Sidewinders seen alone - since they are not hyperspace capable it is more than likely the ship they came along with is lurking just out of scanner range, and the crew might not have your safe passage in mind.
