Description of each of the ship's capabilities:
- R-9A "Arrowhead" - Standard R-fighter with lots of tiny refinements over the years. Jack of all trades... master of none. [ROOKIE/BALANCED]
- R-9F "Andromalius" - Old experimental R-fighter. Very bulky (it's an older fighter after all...), but distinctly known for very neutral handling. Line control is very essential however to fast laps, as momentum is very important for the R-9F. [AMATEUR/TECHNICAL]
- R-9D "Shooting Star" - Lightweight long range R-fighter. Light frame gives the Shooting Star a distinct power/weight ratio advantage over it's siblings, but is difficult to keep under control since the R-9D's thrusters are rather powerful for it's type. [AMATEUR/HIGH-SPEED]
