The Scyk Interceptor is a light starfighter with which Freelance Pilots begin their career. Freelance trainers provide fledgling pilots a Scyk when they sign on. In addition, since the NGE all players have the opportunity to get a free Scyk Interceptor on Tansarii Point Station, for travel to Station Gamma and for use against the Black Sun pirates in the Ord Mantel System. The Scyk is a small ship with little firepower, but it is very quick and able to maneuver well. In addition, it makes a serviceable ship for beginning space miners. Lastly, as with the Z-95 and Light Duty TIE fighters, shipwrights can produce a high-mass variant of this ship that is capable of carrying 95,000 points of mass.
