==Description==
 
==Description==
Originally a [[Terran Hegemony]] design, the '''''Star Dagger''''' found its way to the [[Draconis Combine]] when the [[SLDF]] upgraded their aerospace forces. For many centuries the design was used as their premier fighter because it could be produced in large numbers; its inexpensive maintenance cost kept it in favor with the admiralty. Upon the arrival of the ''[[Sabre]]'' design, the days of the ''Star Dagger'' were numbered.{{cn}}

The [[Jihad]] created the need for anything that could fly to defend the aerospace of the [[Word of Blake Protectorate|Protectorate]]. The [[Protectorate Defense Conglomerate]] heeded the call and began producing the ''Star Dagger'' again. No questions were asked regarding building the design without a production license from the [[DCMS]].{{cn}}

Armed with a single [[medium laser]], single [[small laser]], and three [[machine gun]]s, the ''Star Dagger'' could deal only marginal damage to any modern fighter. However, the large fuel supply allowed its pilots to maintain extended patrols.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: RetroTech'', p. 14</ref>

*; S-2B : This variant is upgraded with standard components. The engine is replaced with one of a 240-rated and the [[small laser]] with a second [[medium laser]]. Additionally, the armor is significantly increased.<ref>''Second Succession War'', p. 110: "Draconis Combine"</ref>
