During the Europa Conflict, PFS witnessed many of the more heavily armed atmospheric craft of the CEU which led to their continuing victory planetside on Europa. Not willing to be outdone, PFS set about to rectify the disadvantage that Phoenix faced in this area of combat.

The answer to this was the Shark - a heavily armed drone with the capability to contend with any kind of target, as well as the convenience of AI targeting turrets for automatic defense, allowing for drone pilots to focus on their primary objectives. The Shark was also created as a drone for the purpose of keeping Phoenix pilots safe - a luxury that was lacking in the Europa Conflict years. To ensure that the drone could continue to be controlled during combat, it was given redundant remotes, communication systems, and cameras.

Like the carrier designed to carry it, the Ketos, the Shark never saw combat on Europa. Its production was overshadowed by projects like the Carnifex, but production continued after the war due to the threat of the revolution taking place on Earth around the same time period.

4. Docking Camera
   
5. Reverse Thrusters On/Off

Remember that the most powerful thrust is the Ventral thrust. Therefore, fly the drone similarly to a helicopter by banking it when turning to cancel out momentum, or pulling up the nose for a quick stop.
