Forsaking armor for speed and firepower like most light aerospace fighters, the ''Thrush'' cannot easily take on larger fighters or multiple enemies, but is in its element when scouting or used as a screening force for DropShips. The major drawback of the circular wing's design is that the ''Thrush'' can enter an uncontrolled spin on entry to a planetary atmosphere, in a similar fashion to the [[Draconis Combine]]'s similarly designed ''[[Sholagar]]'' which was eventually phased out because of its unstable atmospheric flight. The craft usually can be brought back under control, but at the loss of precious seconds of maneuvering. + Nicknamed "The Frisbee" by [[Capellan Confederation|Capellan]] pilots, the TR-7 '''''Thrush''''' is a light aerospace fighter typically seen in [[House Liao]] [[DropShip]] detachments, as well as garrison forces throughout the Confederation.
