Wolfcraft III

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 initiated this kind of spacecraft 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 and nimble attack craft that can operate both in space and in planetary atmospheres prove 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 SII Wolfcrafts. While the Enroe Fulcrum is a very solid and dependable craft, the Union Fleet mostly relies on Wolfcraft Fighters. The first Wolfcraft (Type I) first saw action in the Union versus Y'All war 1500 years ago.

Currently the fleet uses Wolfcraft V, VI and Khari-Wolfs (A joint Dai / SII development)

Wolfcraft III
The Wolfcraft III series was a departure from the design concept used in the W1 and W2 series. The W3 hints at the now common look of the W4, W5 and W6 models. (The Khari Wolfs are more Dai in overall design) The W III was designed and built by SII - Spaceworx and based on the work of Dr. Van Houten and Heinz Kleber (Lockheed Space Inc ). The core features of a Wolfcraft are superior fire power, massive shielding and armor and it was continued in the W III (Which made it inferior in terms of speed and maneuverability to the Dai fighters of that period) It was about equal to the Nul fighter of that time and vastly superior to anything else known at that time. It was first introduced to the Spatial Navy in 4903 OTT and the last W III was removed from service in 5025 OTT. The last units, about 200 were used by the Border Guard as backup and training units.
