The end of an era, the Mark III is believed to be the final design of the Blink Fighter for the foreseeable future. Every Mark III is a two-seat design, splitting the workload between pilot and operator. Designed from the ground up with the alliance with the Dalacari in mind, the Mark III fully integrates the joint Swarm Logic sensor system, using auditory cues to help keep the crew appraised as to the location of hostiles and friendlies. Boasting a quicker recharge rate on the Blink Drive and optimized shield generators for maximum defense, the Mark III is the Blink Fighter that will be carrying the hope of the Ts'usugi Navy forward for the foreseeable future.

At the moment, only the most advanced and prestigious carriers have a compliment of Mark III Fighters on them, which includes the five Super Carrier class ships in service.
