Description
A House Marik production of a Star League design, the Cheetah is a light support or reconnaissance ASF. With little armor, the Cheetah is designed to use speed to evade enemy defenses to complete a mission, but is at a serious disadvantage if faced with heavier aerospace fighters. The high thrust rating and speed comes at a cost of significantly high fuel consumption, limiting the Cheetah to a short range in the basic variant.
Armament
Well armed for a light aerospace fighter, the F-10 Cheetah has a Starflash I Small Laser in the nose and a Starflash II Medium Laser in each wing. The lasers give the Cheetah a heavy punch for supporting other fighters or ground troops.
Variants
- -R The reconnaissance version, stripping the two Medium Lasers and adding fuel. This version is not intended to fight an enemy, as the single Small Laser can offer only token resistance. BV (1.0) = 314
- -S Removes the Medium Lasers and one ton of fuel, to be replaced by an SRM-4 pack and ammo. Used as a defensive craft for installations or dropships. BV (1.0) = 389
