Type-40 "Polaris" Multirole Exoatmospheric Capable Fighter

The Type-40 was built off of the knowledge gained from the Super Seraph operations. Designed with mostly the same combat capabilities, the Type-40 can be described as a Super Seraph with a new skin. However, this time, instead of the 4 plasma rotary cannons, the Type-40 carries 12 8 barrel 40mm lasers, (3 in each "pod".) and 3 tri-barrelled 100mm plasma cannons. While both weapons can be used against enemy aircraft, the plasma cannons are generally used against slow flying large, heavily armoured aircraft or ground targets while the laser cannons are for other fighters. Alongside this, there is a large weapons bay in both wings and the belly and carries a higher payload than the Super Seraph.

Length-60m Width-39.6m Height-8.4m (land gears retracted)

Max Payload: 300 Tons of ordinance.

Heaviest capable payloads:

MK-57 Shipbreaker Missiles x3

Mk-55 "Bunker Busters" x12

Alongside weapon improvements, the Type-40 received a X-Series 44-5 Impulse Drive also with a improved slip space drive, an upgrade to the X-Series 40 it had previously carried, along this it carries an improved version of the gravitational repulser drive that allows the high maneuverability of the Super Seraph, giving it the same top speed of Mach 10 even with a larger capable payload. Alongside this, a new stealth system was placed in the fighter, an advanced cloaking system. The fighter like the Super Seraph is operated with a hive mind system of AIs, allowing for reaction times unachievable by a normal human.
