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.[1]

Surprisingly fast for such a heavy Aerospace Fighter, the Shikra still mounted seventeen and a half 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.[1]

Weapons and Equipment

The Shikra was equipped with a Kali Yama Weapons Industries Grand Slam Gauss Rifle in the nose and a Type 9 Ultra Class 10 Autocannon each wing, each supplied with three tons of ammunition. Mounted in the after of the Shikra were a pair of Wasat Dazzle Chaff Pods and a single Intek Medium Pulse Laser.[1]

Variants

By 3145, no additional variants of the Shikra had entered service.[1]

Notes

The fighter is noted for being introduced in 3101, by Catalyst Game Lab's official Master Unit List Profile for the fighter.[4]
