Description/Overview:
             The Eurospace-Cosmonautics SF-02 spacefighter was a direct derivative of the SF-01 line of spacefighters designed by the UNSC state aerospace design bureau during the Great War era.  The SF-02 was intended to go head-to-head with the EFR HSF-01 heavy spacefighter and be able to fly in the atmospheres of Earth and Venus.  The SF-02 was very agile in both space and within the atmosphere of planetary bodies.
             This spacefighter was a cheap, easily mass-produced fighter used by both the UNSC and the UN Solar Empire throughout the 1st Interplanetary War era.
             The SF-02 was produced by the UNSC/Solar Empire in large numbers during the 2070s. After the 1st Interplanetary War ended, the Jupiter Federal Colonies, Mars Colonial Republic, Venus Consortium, and Union of Solar Republics all built this fighter in huge quantitiesmaking exact numbers of this fighter unknown.
