        FIGHTER CLASS STARSHIPS
 

    TECHNOLOGICAL OVERVIEW:

    Fighter class stands for a non-autonomous craft whose mass is less than 1000 tons. There are no fighters that are capable of Faster Than Light travel.

United Nations Space Forces (UNSF)

    Hex-Optimum Inc has been the major fighter manufacturer for the UNSF, but since the company decided to design their starfighters in an "open arcitechture"-way the MicroSpace corporation started manufacturing fighter clones. The backbone of  UNSF's space superiority is F277 and it's many revisions. Already presented over twenty five years ago, the F277 has proven to be one on the best performing and most reliable starfighters ever designed.
