==Description==
[[Andurien AeroTech]] manufactured the '''''Shikra''''' from their plant on [[Westover]] for years prior to the re-formation of the [[Free Worlds League]], selling the heavy fighter throughout the former League states and to mercenary units. When the League was reestablished in the [[thirty-second century]] Westover ceased being an unaffiliated world and the production line instead served to supply the re-formed [[Free Worlds League Military]].<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp46+"/>

Surprisingly fast for such a heavy [[aerospace fighter]], the ''Shikra'' still mounted 17.5 tons of [[heavy ferro-aluminum]] armor; while this initially caused some handling problems for fighters manufactured in the early production runs, Andurien AeroTech refined the design further, significantly improving the ''Shikra's'' handling.<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp46+"/>

The ''Shikra'' was equipped with a [[Kali Yama Weapons Industries Grand Slam]] [[Gauss rifle]] in the nose and a [[Type 9]] [[UAC/10]] for each wing, each supplied with three tons of ammunition. Mounted in the aft of the ''Shikra'' were a pair of [[Wasat Dazzle]] [[chaff pod]]s and a single [[Intek]] [[medium pulse laser]].<ref name="TRO:3145FWLp46+"/>
