The Griff Krait is not however it be under estimated as a fighter. The Craft's ability to mount fuel injectors compensates for its week engines and whilst it may be slow to draw a bead on a target, once acquired the target can be easily swept with fire from its twin guns. Shielding is minimal, but its powerful reactor quickly restores depleted shields. Whilst a Griff Krait will melt under a few seconds of Military Laser, if not killed cleanly it will quickly recover and re-engage its attacker. | The Griff Krait is not however it be under estimated as a fighter.

Overview
Although Griff Research Limited is today a reputable company, in his younger days the Company's founder learned his trade in the illegal 'chop shops' of Galaxy 7. One of his most infamous creations was the Krait modification. The ship was almost rebuilt from the ground up in order to house lasers under each wing. The krait's small frame was ill suited to mounting such heavy weaponry, the power drain only being solved by the instillation of a heavy quark reactor and a substantial loss of both speed and agility.
The Griff Krait is not however it be under estimated as a fighter. The Craft's ability to mount fuel injectors compensates for its week engines and whilst it may be slow to draw a bead on a target, once acquired the target can be easily swept with fire from its twin guns. Shielding is minimal, but its powerful reactor quickly restores depleted shields. Whilst a Griff Krait will melt under a few seconds of Military Laser, if not killed cleanly it will quickly recover and re-engage its attacker.
Unfortunately, the ship's revolutionary reactor proved its commercial undoing. Tests by the Galactic Health and Safety Executive quickly established that the shielding was inadequate and prolonged exposure caused insanity in most species higher up the evolutionary ladder than a demented bee. Sale of the craft was banned in 2998 and no reputable shipyard would service one. Manufactor of the Griff Krait continues however in illegal workshops and Renegade Stations.
