* SPACE FRAME: 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 Structural Integrity Field. A Single Duranium-Tritanium Hull with a high-level SIF and 2cm of ablative armor. | * SPACE FRAME: 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]].

* HISTORY/NOTES: 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. | * HISTORY/NOTES: 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.

* HISTORY/NOTES: The Mongoose uses the same EM-deadening tiling and stealth systems which is used on certain capital ships such as PROMETHEUS, SOVEREIGN and NEBULA stealth destroyers. The Mongoose's function is purely to be unseen and to see everything else, not to fight. | * HISTORY/NOTES: The Mongoose uses the same EM-deadening tiling and stealth systems which is used on certain capital ships such as PROMETHEUS, SOVEREIGN and NEBULA stealth destroyers.

* HISTORY/NOTES: The Longbow was a stopgap until the FA-120, then on the design board, could be put into production. The Longbow is a lighter, modified version of the Ram, and is really a compromise. It is neither as tough as the impulse Ram nor as fast or long ranging as the FA-120. But it is smaller, and a better fit for smaller capital ships than the FA-120. | * HISTORY/NOTES: The Longbow was a stopgap until the FA-120, then on the design board, could be put into production.

* HISTORY/NOTES: Developed once it became clear that the Federation needed extra help with the Klingons, Borg and Cardassians, the Raptor is actually a pilot's fighter. While small (and thus an excellent fit for small capital ships or ships with hangar and crew space issues), the hard points make this fighter versatile. With M/AMR missiles, it becomes as lethal a space superiority fighter as one could want. With SG (space to ground) weapons, it becomes an assault ship. With warp pods, it's capable of making short warp jumps and then jettisoning the pods for atmospheric work. | * HISTORY/NOTES: Developed once it became clear that the Federation needed extra help with the Klingons, Borg and Cardassians, the Raptor is actually a pilot's fighter.

:Also, while the oldest of the modern tactical craft, the Raptor is also, pilots swear, the best "feeling" ship. To a pilot, that matters, and makes a difference in how instinctively he flies his bird. As well, she is capable of spreading a reverse swept wing configuration which makes her lethal in atmosphere, as well as more responsive than the more recent and heavier ships which depend on maneuvering jets. | :Also, while the oldest of the modern tactical craft, the Raptor is also, pilots swear, the best "feeling" ship.

: The Peregrine saw considerable service in the Dominion war, and suffered heavy losses. Nevertheless, these ships continue to fulfill a vital role, and while they are no longer being built, the ones in service are lovingly maintained. | : The Peregrine saw considerable service in the Dominion war, and suffered heavy losses.

* HISTORY/NOTES: Developed for the Starfleet Deployable Infantry as a heavy assault lander, this craft is now essentially too dated to be of any tactical use except in rear echelon situations, as a trainer, as a transport or as a vessel of last resort. Dated methods of space frame and systems integration mean the craft reached their useful up-gradable design life by 2360, shortly after the Cardassian Wars. | * HISTORY/NOTES: Developed for the Starfleet Deployable Infantry as a heavy assault lander, this craft is now essentially too dated to be of any tactical use except in rear echelon situations, as a trainer, as a transport or as a vessel of last resort.
