==Overview:==
 The Terran League of Worlds first modern fighter design to be fielded in mass
production.

 The reason for such a fighter coming in assistance is due to the arrival of a
force unknown to the Great Realm's and then proved to be so far in advance
technologically as to be first perceived as a alien invasion from beyond known
space.

 These Alien Invaders later was found out to to be the time and space
misplaced 12th TSSOG who with their advanced Star League and experimental
Technology and war machines and warships which at that time the Great Realms
did not posses, indeed seemed to exactly that Alien's !!.

 The Terran League of Worlds was at the time the largest and most technology
advanced and indisputably the most powerful of the Great Realm's., but even
this great states military and technology was crushed when faced with the
12th's advanced war machine and training..

 These first encounters resulted in the TLW's(Terran League of Worlds)
military units complete defeat and destruction., never before faced with such
defeat in scale the TLW was sent into near panic in both leadership and
military circle's, if the pinnacle of the Great Realms military was defeated
so easily then the other Great Realms would begin to circle like sharks
attracted to blood in the water.
 
 What began was the greatest frenzy of both the core infrastructure and
Research and Development undertaken by the TLW in nearly two centuries,  which
in turned modernized and streamlined the previous ramshackle and bureaucracy
bloated industry and production.

 With in 20 years the TLW managed by dint of massive funding and damn all
safety precautions in their research managed to bootstrap their entire economy
and military machine into achieving by 12th standards the first modern and
standardized design of early 25th Terran Technology.

 While still far short of the 12th's level of tech. the TLW was now the most
Technological advanced of the Realms and the only one pointed into the right
direction of possibly one day matching the 12th.

 The Kaimu medium fighter is the finalized version of the earlier Kaimu test
beds that was instrumental in the development of the needed tech to modernize
the TLW's aerospace forces.

 Needing long range weapons to be able to at least engage the advanced
fighters of the 12th, LRM's became the weapon of choice, for medium range
combat the new standardized Large Laser was chosen, for closer ranged combat,
two Medium Lasers was added.

 Speed wise the Kaimu is slower than the 12th's but is enough to allow the
ability to turn and maneuver better than the earlier TLW fighters before the
modernization of the military, and at the same time provide greater
capabilities than the other Great Realms still early Age of War units.

 The last item attended to was the final break thru needed in perfecting the
advanced armor that would sheath the Kaimu in 10 tons of advanced protection.

  For now the Kaimu is the only modern fighter in productions for the TLW, but
from the experience gained from both the construction and battle field
reports, a new light fighter and heavy fighter are in the works to provide the
Kaimu much needed support, against both the 12th and the rival Great Realms.
