The Fleet Air Arm has received a batch of the newest fighter in the AIF: the P-117 "Firebrand". Originally designed to defeat Axis planes like the Outrider, the F-210 and the F-262, it now serves a purpose to defeat Resurgant Axis fielded spacecraft such as the TIE fighter and the Vampire Intercepter. Unlike it's brother, the P-114, it does not feature a variable geometry wing, sacrificing manuverability for unrivaled speed.

It has advanced manuvering RCS for space combat, advanced 60mm rapid firing laser cannons capable of defeating all of it's counterparts, and 4 weapons hardpoints capable of delivering advanced air-to-air missiles. It does not NEARLY have as much armor as the P-114, but it has been noted that the plane is still very tough in terms of survivability.



OOC: I will not be suprised if anyone confuses the P-114 with the P-117 or vice versa :)

Additional OOC: This was originally going to be the F/A-73, and it didn't take long before I realized that I cannot build a F/A-73 or even something that even remotely resembles a F-22/F-15 combo sith the fuselage I had planned (Basically, a thinner P-208 fuselage with a redesigned tail piece and cockpit).
