The Photon is a Tier 5 ship in the Alien Intrusion mod. It fires a medium damage central lasers as well as two other medium damage lasers from the front. It is the fastest ship in its tier, and possibly second-fastest in the entire mod after Fly V2.
This ship excels at ripping ships and aliens apart, and it is even more devastating with attack pods, although the credits are better spent on heavy mines. When base nuking (spamming heavy mines in the enemy base), this ship's speed helps it flee if needed.
