OOC: Btw, nice walker nice Ej! Now, for more new weapons...

IC: Intel reports on the capabilities of Sith Tie Fighters have led AFOH to push the development of a new aerospace fighter. Still in the prototype stage, the XASF-12 "Tencendur" is designed for air superiority with greater speed and maneuverability than the Paladin FB-4AE. It is equipped with 3 x Mk45 and 2 x 25mm guns. The forward-facing Mk 45s are mounted in the same way as the Paladin, while the 3rd is in the rear, making it a very dangerous adversary in a dogfight.

Unlike the Paladin, the XASF-12 suffers no degradation in performance when flying atmospheric missions, but its armament is lighter as it lacks the former's Vertical Gun System (VGS). It is envisioned that dedicated aerospace squadrons will employ the Paladin in a purely attack role, with the XASF-12 takin over the fighter mission when it enters service.
