[[Fearless class Fighter]]s are basic [[Heavy Fighter]]s.
* It is a [[military ship]], a combatant [[smallcraft]], and a [[Fighter]].

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
''Fearless'' class Heavy Fighters are designed to operate from ''[[Stormbringer class Fleet Tender|Stormbringer]]'' class Fleet Tenders. They serve as part of [[The Democratic People's Defense Forces]], the military of the [[Winston Democracy]]. ''Fearlesses'' are large, expensive, and basic, but they are tough and reliable and fill their role admirably.

=== Basic Ship Characteristics ===
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 craft) carried on the ship. Tonnage on the universal ship profile is shown in kilotons (thousands of tons) where necessary. {{Page cite|name= Fighting Ships |page= 10 |version= Classic Traveller}}
* The vessel is a [[TL-8]] design.

== History & Background ==
''Fearless'' class Heavy Fighters serve with the [[The Democratic People's Defense Forces]], the military of the [[Winston Democracy]]. ''Fearlesses'' are fully streamlined and, for their size, have a very heavily armored hull. They produce 5-G acceleration, they are agile, and they are armed with a pair of [[missile rack]]s. The two-man [[crew]], officially at least, each have their own small stateroom for comfort on long system patrols. The simple design allows them to be produced on many of the more advanced [[world]]s lying in the coreward territories of the [[Winston Democracy]].
