Rumor has it that Wrathtech Ltd. has signed some sort of secret trade agreement with Yaeger Yards, and the Gnat seems to support those rumors. Very similar to the Yaeger Bug mini-starfighter, the Gnat is heavily beefed up, with a much more comfortable cockpit, more powerful weapons, and a much more heavily armored hull. It is also much more expensive, costing ten times more than a Bug. However, much of the internal circuitry is similar to the Bug, and many of the parts are interchangeable.

Due to it's sturdier construction, the Gnat can fill many more mission profiles than the Bug can. In addition to acting as a nuisance starfighter, in the hands of a skilled pilot, the Gnat can outfight a Headhunter in atmospheric combat, and even it's rather puny weapon systems are capable of taking out relatively unarmed ships, such as most light freighters. It is also quite deadly as an anti-vehicle weapon, though it's great speed makes it inefficient against relatively stationary targets.
