==Description==
 
==Description==
Described as a brutal weapon, the '''''Koroshiya''''' is an advanced [[Draconis Combine]] heavy [[aerospace fighter]] designed by [[Wakazashi Enterprises]] of [[Chatham]] during the middle of the [[thirty-second century]]. Entering production in [[3138]], the ''Koroshiya'' is intended to be an effective if not blunt and durable fighter. The fighter is intended for assault missions and, when used in a squadron formation, is effective in the anti-[[DropShip]] role as well.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 50 & 113 ''Koroshiya'' - Background</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Koroshiya''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s design was engineered to take severe punishment, utilizing 18.5 tons of [[Naketsu Nagareboshi]] [[reflective armor]] to protect its hull. With this protection the fighter can endure considerable amounts of enemy fire despite the specialized nature of its armor type. Enhancing its defensive measures is an advanced [[Angel ECM suite]].

Designed not unlike the [[Lyran Commonwealth|Lyran's]] ''[[Eisensturm]]'' heavy fighter, the ''Koroshiya'' relies on its big guns to fulfil its mission objectives. Its weaponry comes in the form of a pair of [[Heavy_PPC#Lord.27s_Light_3|Lord’s Light 3]] [[heavy PPC]]s and an [[Apollo FCS]]-guided [[MRM-40]] launcher found in the craft's heavily-armored nose. The launcher is supplied with two tons of ammunition to allow it to fire 12 volleys' worth of the missiles.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Draconis Combine'', pp. 50-51 & 113 ''Koroshiya'' - Stats</ref>
