MV Star Fighter was a freight ferry that was previously operated by TransEuropa Ferries but was laid up in April 2013 after TEF went bankrupt. She was later sold and renamed Ardenia. In 2014 she was registered to Kosilio Shipping of Limassol, Cyprus and was renamed Star Fighter along with her former fleet mate Larks, which was renamed Lucky Star. She then departed Piraeus for Limassol in early November where she was laid up following her name change. She was scrapped at Alang, India, in December 2016.
