Template:For Template:Vehicle

The StarCitizen:Esperia Stinger is a human-made replica of the StarCitizen:Vanduul StarCitizen:Stinger. The original Vanduul heavy fighter - designated as 'Stinger' by the StarCitizen:United Empire of Earth Navy - has established a notorious reputation for causing significant disruption along the borders of Humanity and as a formidable danger to both pilots and capital ships. Initially re-created for the purpose of training elite UEEN pilots, Esperia is now offering their meticulously crafted replica to the wider civilian market.<ref name="StingerLaunch">Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref name="StingerStore">Template:Cite RSI</ref>
