C-Fighter ARC-13UV

The ARC-13 Ultimate Version (ARC-13UV) is the last version of the Deron War Craft C-Fighter. It was produced until Marin 200415, when the C-Fighter was formally replaced by the E-Gunship.

Development
By the time the C-Fighter ARC-12NG was created, the craft was already an aging design, which had been quasi-replaced twice. This craft gave the aging design a reprisal on life, but it needed a complete redesign to remain competitive against new Metra-Brooke entries like the E-2. While this redesign was being developed, the ARC-12NG was replaced by the ARC-13UV, which was, in essence, a stopgap model. This redesign, which was originally to be called the ARC-14, was later shelved, but returned in the form of the T-Fighter.

Improvements
As a stopgap model, the ARC-13UV didn't have many improvements over it's predecessor, the ARC-12NG. However, it did have a slightly smaller anti-gravity booster than previous C-Fighters, which allowed more volume for an enlarged fuel tank. Late-model ARC-13UVs were fitted with experimental holo-projector units built into the fuselage, a feature that would eventually make it into the T-Fighter. It was the last DWC craft to use one of these projectors.
