General Description[edit]
The Hostility class is a fast, deadly combat vessel with 6-G performance and excellent agility. Its primary armament is missiles, though the design also mounts a forward-facing VRF Gauss Gun with a large hopper of ammunition. It has a broadly wedge shape and is an airframe design, allowing it to operate both in planetary atmospheres and the vacuum of space.
Basic Ship Characteristics[edit]
Following the Imperial Navy and IISS Universal Ship Profile and data, additional information is presented in the format shown here. The small craft factor indicates the number of squadrons (...of ten subcraft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (...thousands of tons) where necessary.

History & Background (Dossier)[edit]
Hostility class Fighters serve with the navy of the Korsumug Empire. Because of their particularly rugged construction and ability to absorb damage they are typically used in ground support roles and as fighter-bombers.
- Huge numbers of the craft have been built.
The vessel was designed by the Jansa, a minor race closely allied with the Jaibok.
Class Naming Practice/s & Peculiarities[edit]
Vessel Peculiarities:
The vessel has no airlock. It is normal for the pilot to wear a vacc suit in case of emergency, despite the cockpit having full life support facilities.
Class Naming Practice/s:
Vessels of the Korsumug Empire are given alphanumeric designations and callsigns by other interstellar states. KF refers to 'Korsumug Fighter' (a designation applied to all Korsumug smallcraft combat units), 2 is a type indicator, and 'a' refers to the version of the vessel, relating to its construction tech level. Type codes will often repeat: 'Hostility' is an easy to remember name to identify the specific type of vessel.
- Individual vessels are generally named by their crews.
