OVERVIEW

    The TME-14 Speed Sociopath is a light fighter designed to support the TME-12 Peregrin medium fighter.  With the same speed as the larger fighter and a more extensive short-ranged arsenal, the TME-14 is a perfect supplement to the Peregrin's abilities.

CAPABILITIES

    The TME-14 carries six medium lasers and has the heat sinks to fire them all, like most TME designs, without overheating.  It is better armed and armored than other light fighters bit pays for this in mobility.

DEPLOYMENT

    The TME-14 is usually associated with the TME-12 Peregrin

VARIANTS

    The TME-14 is popular because the Peregrin is popular.   On its own, it is considered too slow for a light fighter.  To answer these complaints, the TME-14-A drops one medium laser from each wing, adds a half ton of armor allocated to the wings and replaces the 120 XL with a 180 XL, increasing the speed by 37.5 percent.  The TME-14-A sales are increasing in standard light fighter roles.
