Originally intended as a heavy assault version of the earlier FA-120 space superiority fighter, the FA-150 has become the lander, 'drop ship' and assault gunship of choice for the marine corps. The fleet has also commissioned many of these for planetary defense. A wing of 'Mauls' will easily handle a small capital ship without breaking a sweat, pose a capable match for a medium capital ship, and put up a good fight even against a large one. Mauls are still not as common as other tactical craft. The SFDI has also ordered them for landing operations. Produced in the Iwaix Fleet yards, Vulcan sector. | |||

* '''Dimensions:''' Length 13m | Beam 7m | Height 4m | |||
* '''Mass:''' 9.2m tonnes | |||
* '''Performance:''' Warp 9.4 for 36 hours | |||
===Armament=== | |||
** 4x Type-XV Phaser Cannons; | |||
A total of four pulse phaser cannon assemblies are located in forward-facing locations. Due to the ship's extreme maneuverability, yard engineers deemed it unnecessary to mount aft-facing cannons onboard vessels of this class. Pulse phaser cannons store up their charge between 1.7 and 2.1 nanoseconds, resulting in an energy pulse more powerful then standard Type-X phaser emitters. Rapid fire of multiple bursts is accomplished through a direct EPS shunt from the warp reactor. If situations warrant, power can be routed from the impulse engines through a secondary plasma tap. For maximum effectiveness, all four cannons fire several bursts at the same time, resulting in a large amount of energy impacting a relatively small location. This tactic has been proven to pierce the shields of threat vessels without having to collapse the entire grid. | |||
* 2x Type-VIII Phaser Emitters (stern), for a total phaser output 5,600 Terra-watts; | |||
Benefiting from computer assisted targeting, the phaser emitter is generally configured to allow for the phaser system to release the beam in almost any direction. This allows the weapon to track and fire at moving targets without the need to physically move the weapon system itself with the target it is engaging. This allows a ship's primary emitter (whether singly or as part of a bank or array) to successfully engage small, fast moving targets such as asteroids, auxillary craft, or fighters. | |||

The type VIII is the phaser armament of choice for most of Starfleet's small to medium sized ships. While varying degrees of power and capabilities can be found from class to class - even from ship to ship - the general Type VIII operating principles remain the same and any deviations in any regard are usually negligible. This phaser type provides excellent offensive and defensive capabilities for many ship classes that, due to their size, require significant quantities of internal volume for other operations which would otherwise be consumed by larger phaser weaponry. | |||
* 2x bow-mounted Micro-Quantum torpedo launchers. | |||
Based on the same principle as the quantum torpedo, the micro quantum torpedo is 14cm in length. Its small size allows it to be fired from a variety of smaller craft, such as fighters, shuttles and runabouts. Although it is capable of doing more damage than its photon counterpart, it is still limited in damage capability. | |||
===Shields=== | |||
Type-10 generators capable of deflecting 2.4 x 10 to the 5th kW. Utilizing cutting edge technology in space-frame design the FA-150 is capable of high velocity turns up to and exceeding a massive 41g without compromising the enhanced [[SIF|Structural Integrity Field]] with a single Duranium-Tritanium Hull with a high-level [[SIF]] and 2cm of ablative armor. | |||
===Sensors=== | |||
Standard shuttle sensor package with "TAC-LINK" secure channel to host-starship (can accept tactical and other data from host Starship's CIC on a secure subspace short-range channel). | |||

I would suggest that everyone begin by having a look at this [[Tactical Spacecraft Generally|Guide for Fighter Pilots]]. It helps to explain quite a bit about fighter operations. Most important is to make sure you read the section on [http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Tactical_Spacecraft_Generally#What_Tactical_Flight_Operations_Are_Like|What Tactical Flight Operations Are Like]. | |||
