 * This makes Rapier an excellent name for this unit, as it is a Fighter (for "light"), cost little resources (for "thin"), and will instantly kill non-modded Fighters (for "sharp-pointed").
 * Rapier is similar in behavior to Interceptor from Obliterate Everything 2. However, it has a Laser weapon instead of missiles, which will instantly kill all blank fighters, except for Spectre.
