Notes
Lore: The Needle is a suicide interceptor: a cockpit strapped to two engines and a pair of fixed guns. Clan raiders use them as screen craft, swarming targets before the main hull closes. A Needle pilot survives by being somewhere else when the return fire arrives. Hull 14 means one solid hit ends it.
