Description (Specifications)

The tiny boatyard takes five years to build one. The pilot is a permanent resident of their ship, crew and machine are effectively one entity (...a sort of cyborg or brain). The low berth is used to keep the organic components alive for long periods of time, over the operational life of the vessels.

History & Background (Dossier)

So far only eight of these mediocre fighters have been lovingly constructed for the self defense squadron. Given their modest capabilities and their untested combat record, whether this program was worth the considerable effort is an oft debated topic.
