==Description==
Developed with aid from the [[Word of Blake]], the [[Free Worlds League]]'s first [[OmniFighter]], the '''''Shiva''''', is deadly and effective aircraft that lives up to its name - that of the multiarmed Hindu god of destruction.<ref name=TRO3067-154-155/>

Using an [[XL engine]] to save weight rather than speed, though marginally slower than aircraft of a similar mass, the ''Shiva'' has the capacity to carry a phenomenal array of equipment with over 50 tons of [[pod space]]. Though it has performed well in exercises, the ''Shiva''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s critics have seized on the design's weak armor for its size, only carrying 10 tons of [[Andurien Composite 3]] [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, though the 18 [[double heat sink]]s mounted on the base chassis has attracted praise. Originally intended as the League's principal carrier aircraft, the complex logistics required to supply the ''Shiva'' with pod-compatible weapons has limited its effectiveness in that role.<ref name=TRO3067-154-155/>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Primary configuration features a short-range combat loadout consisting of a balance of energy and ammunition dependent weaponry. A large [[LB 20-X AC]], [[SRM-6]], and [[ER small laser]] crowd the nose mounts, with twin [[large pulse laser]]s mounted in each wing, and three additional [[double heat sink]]s added to keep the extra heat in check.<ref name=TRO3067-154-155/>

==Alternate Configurations==
*; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration again mounts a mix of energy and ammunition hungry weapons, this time focused on longer ranges. An [[Artemis IV FCS]]-enhanced [[LRM-10]] and [[ER small laser]] are mounted in the nose, supported by the [[ER large laser]] and [[Gauss rifle]] mounted in each wing. Two tons of missile reloads and four of Gauss rounds keep those weapons in operation during the length of a standard sortie.

*; Alternate Configuration C : An energy weapon-heavy ranged combat configuration, the C mounts an [[ER PPC]], [[light Gauss rifle]] and twin [[ER medium laser]]s in each wing supported by a further two ER medium lasers and a single [[ER small laser]] in the nose. Four tons of reloads keep the Gauss rifles fed while four additional [[double heat sink]]s strive to keep the PPCs and lasers in check.

*; SHV-S : Using [[experimental technology]] allows the ''Shiva-S'' to function as a dedicated anti-[[WarShip]] platform. Equipped with two [[improved heavy Gauss rifle]]s, the ''Shiva-S'' can inflict large amounts of damage to even the largest ships. Naturally those ships have many weapons to destroy single [[aerospace fighter]]s, so to protect itself the ''Shiva-S'' is clad in 11 tons of [[vehicular stealth armor]], and the [[Guardian ECM suite]] that powers the stealth armor can also be used to interfere with targeting systems.
