Locust Air Superiority Fighter (click to enlarge).

The Locust is a long range interceptor, primarily designed to intercept bombers and cruise missiles (although it is a poor dog fighter). It was designed by the Gondor Massiv in Kingdom Britmattia for service in God's Own. It has never been in service in Kingdom Britmattia.

The Pantocratorian Imperial Air Service purchased two hundred and seventy Locust interceptors from Britmattia, where it serves as the primary interceptor, and the rights to manufacture their own Locusts with a per aircraft royalty charge for the next twenty years. The Locust interceptor is designated C-32 by the Pantocratorian Imperial High Command.
