Fearless class Fighters are basic Heavy Fighters.

Description (Specifications)[edit]

Fearless class Heavy Fighters are designed to operate from 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.

History & Background[edit]

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 racks. 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 worlds lying in the coreward territories of the Winston Democracy.
