Description

Nicknamed "The Frisbee" by Capellan pilots, the TR-7 Thrush is a light aerospace fighter typically seen in House Liao DropShip detachments, as well as garrison forces in the Capellan Confederation. Forsaking armor for speed and firepower, like most light Aerospace Fighters, the Thrush cannot take on larger ASFs or multiple enemies, but is in its element scouting or used as a screening force for DropShips. The circular wing design's major drawback is that the Thrush can enter an uncontrolled spin on entry to a planetary atmosphere. The craft usually can be brought back under control, but at the loss of precious seconds of maneuvering.

Armament

The Thrush carries three Kajuka Type 2 "Bright Blossom" Medium Lasers, more than enough firepower for scouting or screening for an already heavily armed DropShip.

Variants

No common variants of the Thrush exist.
