The Mosquito is an empire specific fighter available to the Terran Republic.

Positioned as the most balanced fighter on Auraxis, the Mosquito does not feature any notable traits besides its higher cruising speed, allowing it to traverse the skies quicker compared to its contemporaries, although this speed benefit is not applied to the fighter's afterburners.

Keeping with its modest design principles, the Mosquito's airframe is comfortably sized, being moderately thin from all angles—particularly from above or below as compared to other fighters—allowing it to remain survivable in most engagements.

The Mosquito has access to five separate cosmetic customization slots, each modifying a different part of the vehicle.

Alongside the expected ability to add Camouflage and Decals, the player can modify the cockpit glass, attach extra plating to the exterior, and add a trim effect to the airframe.

Though not necessarily defined as a cosmetic, the sound of the Mosquito's in-built horn can also be changed.
