125a Guide, Specs & Features
What to know
The Origin 125a is a light fighter and starter ship that is the combat variant of the 100 series. For the 125a, fast handling and pilot-controlled weapons make the ship effective against small, agile targets, while limited protection rewards awareness and precise flying.
125a specifications
The airframe and weapons behind the 125a
Speed and the two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles define the 125a. It can follow nimble targets closely, but a prolonged exchange favours heavier ships. The 125a can defend itself, using its dual Size 3 weapon systems and racks built to carry six Size 2 missiles. The 125a's AIR system collects gases in flight and converts them into usable fuel, extending range while reducing the need for frequent refuelling stops.
Combat systems aboard the 125a
Speed and quick handling let the 125a challenge other fighters, while its light frame rewards pilots who avoid unnecessary hits.
Development note: The 125a is flight ready and entered the live game in Alpha 3.11.0. Because Star Citizen remains in active development, specifications, features, and imagery may change over time.
125a's combat systems
Two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles give the 125a credible single-pilot firepower alongside the speed, range, and finish of Origin's 100-series.

125a combat systems
Two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles give the 125a a capable single-pilot combat package alongside its fast Origin touring airframe.
Two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles
The 125a is at its best when the two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles can attack another fighter without giving up its mobility.
The pilot uses movement to shorten the time the 125a spends inside the opponent's aim.
Damage and remaining ammunition decide whether the 125a should take another target or return for service.
The 125a's role in a combat formation
The two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles give the 125a practical options against targets its airframe can safely engage.
-
Choose a target the 125a can attack without taking a direct hit
The 125a is built to force agile fighters to react, not to trade damage with a heavily protected hull.
-
Use 125a's speed and agility
The pilot keeps speed available so the 125a can correct, fire, and change direction without becoming an easy target.
-
Attack the confirmed target
The pilot chooses a fighting distance that keeps the two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles effective and the 125a difficult to hit.
-
Recover the 125a's speed before turning back
The next pass begins only after the pilot understands the 125a's condition and the target's new position.
125a's combat equipment in detail
The 125a combines its two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles with the handling, protection, and targeting systems needed for its combat role.
Each model in the 100 series has an internal cargo capacity of 2 SCU, allowing for convenient access.
The 125a, despite its compact size, has a bed to enhance comfort during extended voyages.
For the 125a, responsive handling helps the pilot keep the guns and missiles on target through tight turns.
Aboard the 125a, sensors and weapon controls help the pilot identify a suitable target and keep the guns and missiles aimed at it.
The 125a uses quick reactions to stay ahead in a dogfight
The pilot uses the 125a's speed and handling to create brief chances for the two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles, then keeps moving before incoming fire becomes a durability contest.
Flying and fighting in the 125a
The 125a gives up the reserves of a heavier fighter for speed and immediate control. Its pilot should choose clear opportunities and avoid turning every target into a prolonged exchange.
The 125a is a light-fighter answer to mobile threats, not a substitute for the weapons and protection used against large warships.
The pilot uses the 125a's speed and handling to bring the two Size 3 guns and six Size 2 missiles onto the target, then moves before the target can return fire.
The pilot watches the 125a's shields and weapon state while keeping enough attention for a new threat.
