　　因为它的高机动性，侦察员创造娱乐和光的骚扰而避免敌人的火力是优秀的。

　　贵霜箭侦察是第一个武装打击工艺由贵霜战术分析家对卡拉克航空母舰的旅程希格拉建。在最初的一些争论，尤其是在更多的和平主义kiiths，是否这样的军用飞机会在什么是作为一个和平的殖民地的使命是必要的。然而，战士的kiiths警戒参数能够影响大多数，和生产走在前面。即便如此，箭头将是唯一的武装艇伴随母舰第一超空间试验中，并因此将母舰的唯一可行的仪器的防御在不可思议的事件。设计之前，在kharakian轨道试验场的母舰发射和刚刚推出广泛的测试模拟作战试验。

　　不幸的是，实战测试来的太快在母舰的第一超空间跳跃，反击Turanic丽影战斗机和护卫舰。在这突如其来的危机，箭头表现超乎预期，以其优异的速度和机动性优于笨拙的和弱的武装海盗船。虽然它很快就会被重的刃mk.5拦截为辅，箭会继续在太空优势和战术侦察的作用，其速度让它侦察敌人的位置和回宝贵的数据而不招致重大损失母舰报告。

　　当用于侦察的作用，箭通常部署在对，一船作为僚机，备份的主要工艺要他们遇到的麻烦。有时，侦察队作为诱饵，通过敌人的炮台和诱人的过度热心的指挥官追击，留下的主要目标公开的攻击主要来自贵霜力。

　　然而，从历史的角度来看，箭头只是一个早期的，廉价的侦察员。几位著名的贵霜的王牌，包括传说中的索nabaal，其实喜欢箭头较重的叶片，主要是因为其优异的速度和机动性。这是经常从飞行线人员，资深的箭头飞行员的常规坚持他们的工艺被称为“光拦截”而不是“童子军”笑话的主题。

　　箭的童子军继续服务区分的家园直到战争结束，届时正式退休在叶片的拦截器的高效引擎版本支持。

　　Because of its high maneuverability, the Scout is excellent for creating diversions and light harassment while avoiding enemy fire.

　　The Kushan Arrow Scout was the first armed strike craft to be designed and built by Kushan Tactical Analysts on Kharak for the Mothership’s journey to Hiigara. There was initially some debate, especially among the more pacifistic kiiths, on whether such a military craft would even be necessary on what was intended as a peaceful colony mission. However, the cautionary arguments of the warrior kiiths were able to sway the majority, and production went ahead. Even so, the Arrow would be the only armed craft accompanying the Mothership during its first hyperspace trial, and would therefore be the Mothership’s only viable instrument of defense in the event of the unthinkable. The design was extensively tested before the launch of the Mothership in the Kharakian orbital proving grounds and just after launch in mock combat trials.

　　Unfortunately, the real combat test came all too soon after the Mothership’s first hyperspace jump, against attacking Turanic Raider fighters and corvettes. In this unexpected crisis, the Arrow performed above all expectations, with its superior speed and maneuverability overmatching the clumsy and weakly-armed pirate ships. Although it would be quickly supplemented by the heavier Blade Mk.5 Interceptors, the Arrow would continue in both the space superiority and the tactical reconnaissance role, where its speed allowed it to scout enemy positions and report back to the Mothership with valuable data without incurring significant losses.

　　When used in the scouting role, Arrows were usually deployed in pairs, with one ship serving as wingman, backing up the primary craft should they run into trouble. On occasion, scouting teams acted as decoys, buzzing through enemy emplacements and tempting over-zealous commanders to give chase, leaving the primary target open to attacks from the main Kushan force.

　　However, from a historical point of view, the Arrow was more than just an early, cheap scout. Several notable Kushan aces, including the legendary Suo Nabaal, actually preferred the Arrow to the heavier Blade, mainly because of its superior speed and maneuverability. It was frequently a subject of jokes from flight-line personnel that veteran Arrow pilots routinely insisted that their craft be referred to as ‘Light Interceptors’ rather than ‘Scouts.’

　　The Arrow scout continued to serve with distinction until the end of the Homeworld War, at which time it was formally retired in favor of the high-efficiency-engine version of the Blade interceptor.

　　Early versions of the “Light Interceptor” had an armored fairing on the starboard side of the engine (seen in the bottom image at right), discarded in the production version.
