The '''FI-25 CROSSBOW''' Interceptor is very maneuverable and heavily armed. The fighter can launch and land under its own power but often uses electromagnetic launch systems to reach a greater initial velocity than would otherwise be possible. | The '''FI-25 CROSSBOW''' Interceptor is very maneuverable and heavily armed.

The fighter is built around two horizontal, cylindrical structures. Both structures have a conical projection located at the front, which project out past the forward plane of the fighter itself. These conical projections house the emitters for the pulse phaser cannons, which fire in tandem. The vectored exhaust directors for the fighter’s fusion-reactor are mounted aft, with one on the rear of each of the cylindrical structures, creating thrust along the centerline of the spacecraft. Located between the two structures are the fighter's cockpit, fusion-reactor, control computer, and cargo storage. The cockpit is located forward, including a forward sliding canopy, a fully upholstered acceleration seat complete with four point restraining harness, manual steering column, and systems displays and interfaces. A second compartment for a passenger, BN or RIO is located directly aft of the pilot’s seat also facing forward and slightly elevated, with its own aft sliding canopy access and redundant computer interfaces and displays, but lacking the steering column. Aft of the passenger compartment is the fusion-reactor. | The fighter is built around two horizontal, cylindrical structures.

The fighter has short delta style wings, and two control surfaces angled ventrally at 45 degree-angles outward, near the rear of the fighter. The ends of these control surfaces act as the rear portion of the "landing gear", though they are not adjustable. The forward landing leg is extendable, and located under the pilot’s cockpit. When in landing mode the leg projects forward, not straight down, with a short "ski"-type ending instead of a wheel. Under the secondary compartment is the small cargo area, with ventral access only. | The fighter has short delta style wings, and two control surfaces angled ventrally at 45 degree-angles outward, near the rear of the fighter.

The Trainer variant contains all of the same systems, weapons, propulsion, etc, as the basic fighter. The fuselage, however, is slightly wider to accommodate the larger cockpit. Instead of a single pilot, the cockpit has two acceleration seats positioned side by side, with redundant displays and interfaces, including the manual steering column. The sliding canopy is replaced by gull-wing style canopy hatches, one on each side. The secondary compartment is also side by side seating, with gull-wing canopy hatches, allowing the Trainer to seat up to four people. | The Trainer variant contains all of the same systems, weapons, propulsion, etc, as the basic fighter.

The CROSSBOW Interceptor was a collaborative project initiated by [[Krieger, Jacob Russell|Admiral Krieger]] and [[Varaan|Commander Varaan]], but quickly aided by Starfleet's Advanced Starship Design Bureau ('''ASDB'''). | The CROSSBOW Interceptor was a collaborative project initiated by [[Krieger, Jacob Russell|Admiral Krieger]] and [[Varaan|Commander Varaan]], but quickly aided by Starfleet's Advanced Starship Design Bureau ('''ASDB'''). | ||
