The [[StarCitizen:Esperia]] '''Talon Shrike''' is a variant of the basic [[StarCitizen:Talon]] strike craft with smaller weapons and more missiles. The Talon Shrike trades in its Size 3 weapons for Size 1 guns, but has been modified with an internal missile bay carrying 24x Size 3 missiles. Using its maneuverability and directional Phalanx shields, the Talon Shrike delivers its missile payload quickly on-target before evading pursuit.<ref name="shippage">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/talon/Talon-Shrike|text=Talon Shrike - ship page}}</ref><ref name="presentation">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/17565-Esperia-Talon|text=Talon Shrike - presentation page}}</ref><ref name="brochure">{{Cite RSI|url=https://media.robertsspaceindustries.com/roqe0bsh5xl5o/source.pdf|text=Talon Shrike - brochure}}</ref><br />

}}<br />
{{List item<br />
|Stealth<br />

}}<br />
{{List item<br />
