Description[edit]
Designed as an inexpensive conventional fighter at the dawn of the Age of War, the Mosquito Light Fighter was a popular aircraft for its time. Designed by then AeroTech Industries of Andurien, the vehicle saw widespread use between the Capellan Confederation and the Free Worlds League but was also licensed to other minor concerns. The Mosquito's success during these times helped propel Aerotech into an interstellar giant of its time.
By the twenty-sixth century the air vehicle had become obsolete and was considered primitive technology and had thus faded from use.[2]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
Built with budget in mind, the Mosquito was designed to be easily maintained by its owners. Its only advanced component was its Fusion power plant, with the plant being fueled by three tons of fuel for flight. Inclusion of the Fusion plant was intended to allow the craft to carry more ordnance with its two External Stores Hardpoints.
The fighter's main firepower comes from its single 5-tube Long-Range Missile launcher, which was mounted in the nose. Supplementing the launcher were two Machine Guns split between the fighter's wings. Carrying a ton of ammunition for both weapons, the vehicle uses an Advanced Fire Control System to make each of its shots as accurate as possible.
The Mosquito's hull is protected by one ton of BAR Grade 6 Armor.[3]
Design Quirks[edit]
The fighter features the following Design Quirks:
Notes[edit]
- Though the Mosquito was intended as a Primitive Conventional Fighter, Support Air Vehicle construction rules were used to create this vehicle.
- It has an Equipment Rating of D/D-X-X/E.[4]
- As of this writing, there is no Battle Value assigned to this unit.
- The Mosquito Light Fighter's image originally was used for the Angel Light Fighter. Though the Angel was built by the same company that originally built the Mosquito, it is unclear if they share the same design legacy.
