Fighter Deflector Shield         


An upgrade of the X-Fighter (Welcome to the Nebula California pg 65). The design replaced the proton torpedo launchers with MMLs, allowing for great reach or a dangerous punch close up. It added additional lasers in the rear to help defend the pilot against more maneuverable enemies. Deflectors were added to make the fighters more likely to survive, theoretically reducing the resource drain on their communities. It was also decided that most of these 'Militia Fighters" would carry two seat cockpits, allowing a two man team to control the fighters with greater efficiency.

Fighter Deflector Shield         


These designs called for the removal of the energy weapons in favor of a larger payload of missiles. In addition it replaced the proton launchers with MMLs, and 3 tons of ammo. While slower than the MSF, the MFSF also carries the two seat cockpit and deflector shields of militia fighters. This design also features the new-to-them Anti-Missile Systems, allowing these fire support fighters to also act as escorts keeping enemy missiles from harming themselves or their allies.

Fighter Deflector Shield       


While matching the Terror Fighter in speed, this is the fastest militia fighter. Intended as an interceptor for the militia, it's entire weapons loadout was stripped in favor of a pair of medium lasers. Though lacking the two seat cockpit, this design does incorporate the deflectors. Intended to be the first militia unit to reach a fight, despite being poorly armed, The Tribe is interested in seeing how well this holds up in battle with it's deflector.

Fighter Deflector Shield       


The heaviest hitter in the militia designs, the MAF carries not only the traditional two seat cockpit and deflector shield, but also uses advanced variable lasers and other energy weapons to deliver a punch that even large ships will feel. It's torpedo systems were replaced by a Steak SRM 6, allowing the fighter better accuracy than any other in the militia. Based on the People's Rebellion's B-Fighter, the engineers stripped a lot of the unnecessary systems that and generally redesigned it to handle atmospheric flight better. The new design looks like it used the old one for parts, but bears little other resemblance to it's predecessor.

Incom, the manufacturers who were able to upgrade their X-Fighter design into the Sentinel Militia Fighter, requested and was given permission to upgrade another craft to the new standard. The planned upgrade was for their UT-60D, a versatile craft that could transport multiple squads relatively quickly, and provide them with limited support.

One item surprised The Tribe's leadership, pleasantly, was the inclusion of a Mobile HPG on the new design, replacing the comm equipment the old design had. The ability to deploy such devices on such small packages was intriguing, and suddenly the project received a great deal more attention. While it isn't planned for the main military units to use these, they definitely fill a powerful niche in the militia. The Tribe has already begun working on future plans for the design. Meanwhile the Former Star Empire fighter pilots are relieved to not have to ferry troops around, and make it known they prefer dropships for troop deployment.
