Wolfcraft Type 1

Wolfcraft Type 1

(First Union type fighter replacing the Terran Talon and Eagle Fighters used until then)

First Fighters of this type delivered to the Fleet around 3460.

The United Stars of the Galaxies are only one of eight known civilizations that developed small attack space craft known as fighters or space fighters.

In the Union it is the Terrans who inicated this kind of space craft and space warfare.

Ship to ship battle in space is difficult due to the vast speeds and distances. Especially before the development of faster than light weapons,space fighters were an alternative. Even today with a vast array of FTL weapons available, fast nimble attack craft that can operate both in space and in planetary atmospheres proved very useful and were among the deciding factors in all three Intergalactic Wars. The Union relies on two types of Space Superiority Fighters, the Enroe-Fulcrum Types and the SI-Wolfcrafts. Whle the Enroe Fulcrum is a very solid an dependale craft, the Union Fleet mostly relies on Wolfcraft Fighters.

True to Terran Fighter doctrine to built a “Dominating Fighter” with heavy emphasis on survivability and armament, the first Wolfcraft Series (SII – Small Craft Development – Winning out over the Enroe Shooting Star and the DeNoir Phasor ) had tripple Shimmer Shields ( 12 Megawatt absorption per square cm) Built with Nano foamed Utronit over a NanoCarbon Lattice frame and featuring the largest most powerful ISAH Pods possible for the design. The Oversized ISAH Pods allowes the Wolfcraft to manouver even at very high near light speeds (Manouvers at speeds of 800,000 km/sec!)

Armed with 4 SUNBORE – Deuterium Slug Cannons ( 55 gauge) 2 MILAN ship to ship Missiles and Twin Black Light FTL Gatlings.
