-Lewis Field-

At a secure proving grounds owned by Marshall-Lewis Aerospace, a new fighter prepares for its first flight. Looking like a smaller, sleeker version of the P-99, the new fighter, named the XP-108 Starfire, is a highly advanced aerospace fighter. Driven by a microfusion reactor powering two Mercury Corp built impulse engines, the XP-108 is estimated to be able to reach Mach 8, and have excellent maneuverability. Armament consists of two powerful rapid fire lasers, and a supply of missiles, though the payload is less than that of the P-99.

The fighter rolls down the runway, and after a long roll, takes off in to the sky. It flies well, and in a few days combat simulations are bring flown against F-65s, with the XP-108 able to outfly and outfight the F-65 in every situation, though they do tend to run low on missiles. The price tag is hefty though, and the aircraft is thrice the cost of a P-99 Spitfire II. Despite the cost however, the IKAF and IKN authorize production, with plans to outfit the best squadrons with the new aircraft as an elite fighter for elite pilots. The first to get the new fighters is Rotarran Squadron.
