Kazon fighters are small attack ships originally used by the Trabe, but were later seized from them during the Kazon uprising.
Nearly identical in appearance to the Kazon raider, these vessels are approximately the size of a Federation shuttlecraft. They are able to be operated by a crew of one, and are armed with three forward phaser banks and an aft photon torpedo launcher.
This class of vessel was composed of polyduranide alloy, duranium, magnesite, electroceramics and heavy traces of carbon residue. (VOY: "Initiations")
In 2372, Commander Chakotay's Type 8 shuttlecraft was engaged by a Kazon-Ogla fighter, piloted by Kar, in an unprovoked attack. Despite the Kazon's advantage, with the element of surprise, Chakotay was able to destroy the fighter with the shuttles phasers. (VOY: "Initiations")
One of these vessels, operated by the Trabe, was utilized in an attempted massacre of several Kazon first majes attending a conference of Sobras. The starship USS Voyager fired three photon torpedoes at it, forcing it to disengage. (VOY: "Alliances")
Tom Paris later stole one of these shuttles from a Kazon raider he was held prisoner aboard. Barely able to escape, he managed to get into Voyager's transporter range, moments before the shuttle's mothership destroyed it. (VOY: "Investigations")
