Actually, there were two advanced variants on the alien fighters: the red-painted ones that were capable of crossing in close proximity to singularities, and the advanced-powered stealth model that was given to the Chigs' best ace, "Chiggy von Richtofen" as he was so-named by the humans. The CvR story arc followed a few episodes as the Wildcards and the rest of the fleet tried to handle this new threat. Heavier patrols, ambuscades, and an experimental weapon of mass destruction all failed to nail the guyâ it took one highly pissed-off squadron commander on a blood vendetta to hunt Chiggy down and duel him to the death.
The last episode was the season closer: on the verge of invading Chig home territory, they sued for peace, agreed to a prisoner release, then pulled off a sneak attack by trying to kill the prisoners and the extraction force (the 58th Wildcards), a fight that ended in several notable casualties.
Political Correctness is the idea that you can foster tolerance in a diverse world through the intolerance of anything that strays from a clinical standard.
