The Meteor is a medium fighter based on the StarCitizen:Mantis chassis and developed by StarCitizen:Roberts Space Industries. Equipped with strong weapons, this medium fighter distinguishes itself by combining elements of heavy fighters, medium interceptors, and light fighters. It has powerful armament, superb flight capabilities, hull durability, and specialises in straight-line speed. By focusing on securing victory in an initial strike, the Meteor poses a serious challenge to foes.<ref name=MeteorStore>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name=MeteorLaunch>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name=MeteorQ&A>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

2025-05-10	The RSI Meteor was briefly announced by StarCitizen:John Crewe while being interviewed on a special Star Citizen (Not So) Live episode, which was premiered to the audience during the 2025 Beijing StarCitizen:Bar Citizen event. He described it as a ship that "Punches above its weight".<ref name="BCBeijing2025">Bar Citizen Beijing May 2025 on bilibili.com</ref>
2025-07-17	The RSI Meteor was released in Alpha 4.2.1
2026-05-14	The bespoke StarCitizen:Echion Repeater was released, allowing the Meteor to pursue an anti-shield-focused role.

Trivia

A meteor, or shooting star, is a bright streak produced when a meteoroid enters Earth's atmosphere and ignites due to friction with air molecules, creating a visible light trail. This phenomenon usually occurs in the mesosphere at altitudes of 76 to 100 kilometers.<ref>Wikipedia: Meteor</ref>
RSI has partnered with PAW to set a new standard for sustainable shipbuilding with the release of the Meteor. Designed with a commitment to protect [[StarCitizen::Category:Fauna|wildlife]], preserve habitats, and ensure clean materials throughout the entire manufacturing process.<ref>"RSI has partnered with PAW to set a new standard for sustainable shipbuilding with the release of the new Meteor.

-The '''Meteor''' is a medium fighter derived from the [[StarCitizen:Mantis]] chassis, 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==
+==Lore==
-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" />
