==Description==
Originally developed by [[Clan Jade Falcon]] in the mid-thirtieth century, the 60-ton '''''Visigoth''''' was the most popular [[OmniFighter]] among [[Clan]] ''[[touman]]s'' until the arrival of newer designs such as the ''[[Jagatai]]'' in the decades immediately prior to [[Operation Revival]]. The relatively old design made up as much as 25% of each invading Clan's front line aerospace forces, rarely less than 10%, a testament to the abilities of the aging fighter that continues to see heavy use during the [[Jihad]] and beyond.<ref name=TRO3055U188-189/><ref name=TRO3055-156-157>''Technical Readout: 3055'', pp. 156–157: "Visigoth Fighter Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3055R-140-141>''Technical Readout: 3055'', pp. 140–141: "Visigoth OmniFighter Profile"</ref>

The ''Visigoth'' has 26 tons of [[pod space]] available thanks to its use of an [[XL engine]] and 10.5 tons of [[Ironhold B-class]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor. Carrying 16 [[double heat sink]]s and five tons of fuel give the fighter good endurance in combat operations.<ref name=TRO3055U188-189/><ref name=TRO3055-156-157/><ref name=TRO3055R-140-141/>

*; Alternate Configuration A : Designed towards projecting damage at range, the A configuration is usually deployed to ensure air-space superiority. It mounts an [[ER PPC]] and twin [[ER medium laser]]s in the nose, an [[Artemis IV FCS]]-enhanced [[LRM-20]] supplied with two tons of reloads fitted in each wing, and is supported by twin aft-mounted ER medium lasers.

*; Alternate Configuration B : A lethal ground-attack and air-space superiority loadout, the B configuration features two nose-mounted [[large pulse laser]]s supported by a further one in each wing, and a [[medium pulse laser]] fitted aft. While ideal for long range patrols, the all energy weapon configuration forces pilots to manage their heat carefully.

*; Alternate Configuration C : Another almost entirely pulse laser equipped configuration, the C features an identical pairing of a single [[large pulse laser]]s and [[medium pulse laser]]s mounted in the nose and each wing. Strangely mounting an ammo dependent [[SRM-4]] aft to fend off attacks from the rear, fed by a single ton of reloads, the risk of an ammunition explosion forces pilots to be highly mindful of this variant's high waste heat generation.

*; Alternate Configuration E : This configuration was introduced during the [[Jihad]] and consists of a nose-mounted [[HAG/30]] and a trio of [[ER medium laser]]s in each wing.
