Role

Multirole

• Interceptor
• Attacker
• Fighter

Sortie Configurations

Screening

• 1x 30mm Rotary Gauss Auto-Cannon
  • Nose mounted

Close Air Support

• 1x 30mm Rotary Gauss Auto-Cannon
  • nose mounted
• 2x 'Sledgehammer' Unguided Munition
  • wing mounted
  • Launch assisted 120kg (Tungsten-Carbide) rods
  • Kinetic Energy Penetrator (KEP)
  • Variable yield (Impact velocity dependent; approx. 225kg TNT equivalent at 3km/s)

Interception/Air Superiority

• 1x 30mm Rotary Gauss Auto-Cannon
  • nose mounted
• 8x 'Bolt' Guided Missile Platform
  • wing mounted
  • Several Variants
    • Sling 1
      • infrared laser guided
        • missile hunts for the "painted target"
    • Sling 2
      • ultraviolet search and track
        • tracks objects that stand out against the background radiation of the universe and looks for bloom in the UV spectrum due to the ionization of particles.
    • Sling 3
      • Quantum Entanglement
        • fires out photons until they hit a target and bounce back, the ship's computer compares them to their entangled twin, then hands over to missile computer for launch and tracking
    • Sling 4
      • ATR/Fractal Mapping
        • missile is equipped with a high-resolution camera and a local AI model trained on Fractal Monitoring. It 'sees' the shape of a ship and tracks it.
