Description
As technology improved, the galaxy became more dangerous, and lucrative trade income filled Terradani coffers, more attention was directed towards military projects that could defend the colonies. The SF-4 is the result of ...... cont

i see. . . love your detailed description/histories btw

You would be correct sir! They would also be used to intercept enemy fighter escorts and larger ships as they enter a planet's airspace.

Im guessing these guys are kept on-planet and designed to combat an enemy's close-orbit spacecraft, like a planet-cracker?

The first pulse lasers of such a high rating, they are incredibly accurate and have a high firing rate. Although shorter ranged, they are more than capable against most targets.

they also can recharge twice as fast as any other previous design. Although there is a trade-off in power consumption and heat build-up, most aircrews feel that it's worth it. Backing up the PBW's is a trio of Galspar's "Highbeam" 200gw pulse lasers.

A systems officer sits behind him and manages the crafts multitude of advanced avionics. Weapons include two of Myalar's incredible "Sunhammer MkIII" class 6 Particle Beam Weapons, one mounted on each wing. Amazingly powerful, long ranged, and accurate,

This allows the SF-4 nearly unrivaled "first strike" capabilty. An advanced inertial dampener protects the 2-man crew from the tremendous g-forces involved with high-thrust interception manuvers. The crew is seated in tandem, with the pilot in front.

The two primary flight engines are a forced ion flow design and are used primarily in atmo, since they rely on air to cool. The booster drive is a fusion plasma design capable of immense thrust that can propel the craft into orbital space in minutes.

power to reach orbital space on its own. Rather than rely on expensive repulsor coils to accomplish this task, SF-4 instead uses a combination of powerplants, similar to the F-3's arrangement yer far more advanced. Both systems are reactor-based.

(description continued) The SF-4 is the result of the same program that birthed the prototype airframe that would become the EX-1 spacecraft. It is designed to be a transatmospheric interceptor, capable of taking off like a normal aircraft, but having the
