What I like about it is the implied POWER in the wings ... they almost look
like arms ... in "attack position" (I'm reminded of the Klingon BOP's wing
manuverability here) it would certainly remind me of "Ahnald" coming in for
the kill!!!!

I love the sleek lines! It looks like its mission is mostly just to sneak
up behind an aggressor and launch a barrage, then duck away ... the name
implies that too. In case a crewed ship came under assault by a foe, the
flea would (and please forgive the next word...) "bug" the enemy so that the
"good guys" could either regain the upper hand or sneak away to effect
repairs or recovery.
