Description
The Colt was a Medium sized conventional fighter which was used originally by the Lyran Commonwealth as a air & ground support air vehicle in it's early years of it's existence.
History
The fighter's inception is due in part to the Lyran Commonwealth's formation which was chaotic politically and economically thriving time. Designed as a all purpose vehicle able to act as a fighter and attack plane. It was noted to being rather inexpensive which would help fuel it's early popularity. Edasich Aerospace began selling the Colt to various planetary militias and private security concerns within the Commonwealth starting in 2354. The Colt would gain fame due in part of Archon Robert Marsden, whom used the plane to bolster his forces while rooting out rebellions factions within the Commonwealth in 2378. The sterling service would keep the fighter in service until 2530, when it was phased out production.[3]
Weapons and Equipment
The Colt was manufactured with Primitive Technology, which was not unlike technology used to build civilian Support Fixed-Winged Aircraft in later centuries. The technology used to build the Colt is less automated, which required a larger crew. The Colt's engineers would design the plane with focus on weaponry first and while crafting other features second.
Protecting the fighter's skin is 1.5 tons of Primitive Armor, which is on par to BAR-5 Grade civilian commercial armor. The craft does not have long range, with only 3.5 tons of fuel, While external tanks can be added t the fighter, the these 5 external Store hardpoints dedicated carrying bombs and other explosives.
Colt's only weapons it its 5-Tubed Long-Range Missile Launchers mounted on either wing. Twenty four reloads of ammunition were feed from craft's center fuselage. The fighter's weapons were guided by a Advanced Fire Control system to assure accuracy.[4]
