The T-98 was initially designed by MerCo as a trainer, but can be readily upgunned for combat duty. The Corps didn't care much for the armed versions as they were little more than a 1-2 man equivilent to the BF-1 Gunfighter, but we continue to rely on the T-98 as our primary training craft. A pod laser system can be added at -1 MR

Once PGC got word of WarTech's Pod Laser system, they were quick to design the first fighter craft to support the new weapon system. Small, quick, and agile but it couldn't take much of a beating in combat, nevertheless it made history as the first laser armed fighter craft in the Frontier. Some local militias use the craft for its low maintenance and cheap ownership, as such SFC typically transfers new graduates to a militia who allows them to use the Gunfighter in their first live weapons firing exercises.

Upon graduation, players will see service with an updated version of the F-40, the F-40C convertible fighter that can switch weapon systems according to the missions between a long range pod laser system, a trio of assault rockets, or a standard pod laser and single assault rocket; along with the software to run these various system configurations.

A twin hull version has also been in limited production, the F-40C2 designation. SFC has turned it down seeing no need for a second pilot, although some militias utilize the twin fuselage craft for long range patrols.

WarTech's sibling micro-corporation "Sovereign Virtue" belted out this fantastic heavy duty multi-purpose fighter many decades ago. It's an older design that has been upgraded over the years following WarTech's funding of the company, and has slowly become known as the "workhorse of the Frontier" by Star Fighter Corps pilots. The Enforcer's shielded atomic drive does not have a governor installed, so it is interstellar capable. The vessel's lacking performance is made up by an ability to take a severe beating by fighter standards, the rocket payload along with two different beam weapon systems (a forward firing pod laser and an Ion Gun Turret) makes it a versatile craft well suited for many roles. The new Deflector Screen defense system is a recent upgrade, the I-76 was the first fighter craft to be equipped with it and as a result it can sustain even greater amounts of punishment.

The original F-41 design was a lower budget competitor to WarTech's sibling I-76 heavy fighter, but it failed to match the Enforcer's payload and versatility. Hence it became converted over to a Reconnaisance Fighter with optional sensor and jamming packages, and filled this role very well. Ion Cannons allow the craft to capture fleeing vessels as well, preserving their crew and cargo for questioning and observance afterwards. And the Pod Laser system also allows for more permanent damage to be inflicted when so desired. The ship allows for two crew members but can be operated by a single pilot for most non-recon or insystem duties. The craft is interstellar capable.
