BeltCo's Monkeyworks design crew created a deadly long-range killer in the MMS-4A Assassin. Nicknamed "Tick" by its pilots for its looks, this fighter, conceived by the secret Monkeyworks design bureau from a similar Vaught Systems design, carries the high velocity long range and the advanced tracking missile. Both are fire and forget, long-range killers. They are best used on targets that are busy with something else. A dedicated bit of laser fire, dodging or jamming can make them miss on the first pass, and they won't reacquire easily. With their speed, however, they can be on top of a target before he realizes they are coming...and they pack a big whallop when they hit.

Flying the Assassin is very much like being it's namesake. You don't look for fair fights, you're there to kill ships who have no chance at retaliating. A fast ship, lack of maneuverability makes it a poor choice for knife-fighting, but used properly, supporting other fighters from the fringes of a battle, it may be the most formidable fighter in space.
