SF-22 saber tooth

The Union dynamics SF-22 Saber tooth fighter

The SF-22 Saber Tooth is an advanced fighter in production with the United Colonial Alliance Fighter core, the project is intended to replace out dated heavy space superiority fighters currently in service, this new fighter is designed to out preform and match current fighters and future fighters designed by other countries, the fighter has a starting budget of 250 billion F$ and each Unit will cost 8.5 Million F$. The senate approved the funding bill for the project as of NGY250. The fighter production and development is based at the Hyperion design and ship yard headquarters in the black nova cluster.

fighter length and hull: is twenty three meters, and its wing span is eighteen meters, while the fighter might be large compared to some and small compared to others, it is a well thought up design. The Hull of the fighter is made from quantum fused Tri-Strontium and boruim composite materials re-enforced with boruim struts.

Sub light Engines: The engines the fighter will be mounting will be the new UD-255 Hybrid, Reaction-less Graviton Wave,Exotic plasma Turbofans. The Engines will be powered both by Graviton pulse wave generators and Exotic particle reactants that crate plasma for the engines use. The engines have the ability to push the ship upwards of .85C with out afterburner's in use.

Faster than light: the faster than light drive of the fighter is known as Slip warp, slip warp is a type of drive that crates a bubble of space time around the ship and accelerates it FTL, the drive can be used for local booster jumps and as well as for long ranged strikes against targets.

Sensors: the sensors of the ship is rather advanced, it uses Faster than light sensors, Tachyon sensors, Quantum sensors, Multi dimensional sensors and gravimetric sensors, the sensors suites are all linked in to a battle net system that can track countless targets and projectiles at once.

Shield systems: The Defense systems of the fighter are extraordinary for its size, the fighters shield system is a twin linked Genecore tech LXS-B shielding emitter, meaning the fighter has two layers of powerful shielding, the emitters are linked to energy absorption pads that take enemy fire and use it for the shields power.

Armor: 50cm of quantum fused Tri-Strontium-boruim-kanvaruim alloy plating makes up the armor of the ship, the plating is polarized to make the armor stronger, the plates are made up of 60 % kanvaruim, 20 % Tri-Strontium and 20 % boruim. The reason for the mixture is that kanvaruim is a very light material while the other two are heavy elements, the kanvaruim is also a stealth and structural enchantment material, all in all th e mixture of this is quiet strong and makes the fighter even more formidable.

performance: pitch;360, yaw;360, Roll; 360. The fighter can make a 360 degree turn with in .5 seconds thanks to the gravimetric projectors attached to it, this makes the ship one of the most maneuverable designed, the projectors, project a powerful gravity well in the direction of the turn, its all assisted by hybrid booster thrusters.

range: The fighter is a long range craft, its jump drives can take it about 20 light years away from it system or carrier group, it has enough Exotic reactant for a sub light trip of 800 AU, the fighter can also carry extra fuel pods internally, doubling the range of the fighter.

Missiles: The Fighter Has extensive armaments of missiles, the fighter contains 14 internal missile hard points, the fighter is equipped with with 6 Silver strike HLAARM-120 (Heavy Long range space to space anti radiation missiles) and 6 Mercury Side Winder QFAAM-100 (Quantum guided Fire and forget missiles), and 2 QGJAAM-105 viper (Quantum guided Joint attack munitions)

Torpedoes: The Saber tooth contains 2 micro torpedo tubes that have a stock of 6 quantum torpedoes each stored in a buffer, these tubes can fire pulses of 2 each round and the tubes can also be adapted with torpedo pods to contain a total stock of 12 torpedoes.

Projectile weapons: The Saber Tooth can carry a multitude of projectile armaments, the armaments are interchangeable, the mains three Popsicle armaments the ship may carry are:

Gravimetric Chain Gun: The GCG-109 Cannon is a microsol incorporated product, that uses reverse gravitational fields to eject particles to nearly .40 c, the saber can carry 2 of these cannons on the wing roots and one in the nose. the cannons rounds are made from solid depleted deuterium there can be pods carrying around 1500 rounds, or with out pods the fighter can carry 500 rounds.

Microsol Mini ball gun The MMBG-100 is a C fractional weapon using flack rounds, the rounds are larger than the Chain guns rounds, and are filled with anti matter at the center. The rounds outer shell is composed of ionized shards, so when the round hits or explodes with out a hit it will damage sheilds and even equipment, the saber can carry 100 rounds and equip one nose mounted cannon.
