Description/Overview:
(SF-01)
The UN SF-01 was conceived in 2052 AD as a cheap, mass-produced spacefighter capable of engaging the Earth Federal Forces Kentucky class attack shuttle in combat. The UNSF-01 was an excellent fighter in close-range combat (usually within a fleet formation) near planets and spacestations. However, by the outbreak of the 1st Interplanetary War, any SF-01 engaging in fighter-to-fighter combat would be committing suicide. The SF-01 simply could not compete with other spacefighters of the 2070s, namely the HSF-01.
(SF-01A)
The UNSF-01 was replaced in 2073 AD by the SF-01A upgraded UN spacefighter. This “upgrade” was simply a refit of the existing stockpile of SF-01s in the UNSC inventory and a minor retooling of the SF-01 factories on Vesta, Hygea, and the moons of Mars and Jupiter. The upgrade was intended to act as a “stopgap” measure until the SF-02 and SF-03 could be put into mass production.
The primary differences between the two fighters were the engines and nose-mounted weapon. The SF-01A had its rocket engines replaced by four Senchai-Cydonia SCIE-2.5 high yield ion engines. These engines produced far more thrust than the old rocket engines of the original Great War era fighter. This allowed the SF-01A to compete with the HSF-01 in fighter-to-fighter combat more adequately.
The forward anti-ship missile was replaced on the SF-01A by a Lithgear LG-50AC 50-millimeter autocannon gunpod. This gunpod fired twenty-round bursts within a few seconds. This allowed the SF-01A to lay down a devastating hail of shells at a target, which usually inflicted severe to catastrophic damage. The LG-50A was able to pass through the HSF-01 spacefighter’s nuclear dampening fields easily. This gave the SF-01 a new lease on life and made the fighter the choice of nearly all of the spacepirate and outer sphere colonial groups of the post 1st Interplanetary War era.
