The '''Meteor''' is a medium fighter variant of the [[StarCitizen:Mantis]] series of ships, developed by [[StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries]]. Equipped with formidable weaponry, the Meteor presents a daunting challenge for adversaries. Drawing influence from the legendary Mantis, this medium fighter opts out of quantum enforcement, incorporating instead two custom S5 ballistic cannons and four single-load S4 missile racks, thereby establishing the Meteor as a powerful entity capable of illuminating the sky akin to a shooting star.<ref name=MeteorStore>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/Standalone-Ships/Meteor|text=RSI Meteor Store|accessdate=2025-07-17}}</ref><ref name=MeteorLaunch>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/20652-RSI-Meteor|text=RSI Meteor Launch}}</ref>

==Classification and Role==
While the Meteor is classified as a medium fighter, it differs from its other medium contemporaries by possessing traits normally found in several different classifications: The Meteor has the armament and interior normally found in a heavy fighter, the flight performance of a medium interceptor, and the hull strength and shielding of a light fighter.<ref name=":0">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/engineering/20703-Q-A-RSI-Meteor|text=Q&A: RSI Meteor|accessdate=2025-07-18}}</ref>

In comparison to other medium fighters, the Meteor excels in straight-line performance and lacks in maneuverability and staying power, optimised for the task of achieving victory in the first strike.<ref name="MeteorLaunch" /><ref name=":0" />
