Description
With the collapse of the Free Worlds League, every new splinter-state searched for ways to increase their defensive capabilities. The Mosiro Archipelago saw the future in aerospace combat and they used their limited manufacturing resources to build the Malaika, a design with only cosmetic similarities with the abandoned Lyran Banshee fighter. The Malaika was design with an experimental mixture of primitive and modern technologies.
Armament
When designing the Malaika, the designers kept in mind that airframe and armor was concededly vulnerable in comparison to other contemporary designs of the time. In order to offset the airframe's weaknesses, they fitted the craft with modern weaponry. They chose to take two MML-5 launchers with Artemis-IV support. The rear is protected by a single Extended Range Small Laser. [2]
Variants
No variants known at this moment.
Notes
When originally published in XTRO: Retrotech, the unit did not include a Battle Value. This was only found later on Catalyst Game Lab's offical unit website.
