The High Command has approved the deployment of the Gladius FB-12S aerospace strike fighter as an interim replacement for the Cobra II and Durandal. With the incorporation of the JH7B fusion engine from Project Viper (replacing the Project Gladius prototype's RMD5L), the Gladius now outperforms Durandal in speed and matches it and the Cobra in agility (though still falling short of the latter's speed). The production model is larger than the prototype, with a wider wing span and a pronounced hump due to the larger engine. The Gladius will embark on the new Dominator-class battle-carriers.
