Tired of relying on that sorry excuse for what passes for an Air Force with the locals when you NEED air support? Looking for a easy way to add Air POWER to your force package? Well I have the answer for you.

Valen Heavy Industries is please to announce the Thunder and Lightening Class Fighters. These two state of the art TL14 combat craft are specially designed to fit into the 50-dton bays, normally used for carrying a modular cutter, on a standard Type-MC “Broadsword” class Mercenary Cruiser.

The Thunder class is our space superiority fighter. Designed to go toe-to-toe with the best of the opposition. Just the item need to break a blockade or insure the safe transit of your troops.

The Lightening Class is our ground support version of the Thunder class. It swaps the twin beam lasers of the Thunder class for a double fusion gun turret. Additional changes have been made to optimize atmospheric performance.

Both craft are 25 dtons standard displacement and with some small modifications, a Type MC’s cutter bay can be modified to carry two fighters of your choice. All this month, were offering a package deal, 85 MCr and VHI will modify your mercenary cruiser and fit it out either of the two fighters. For 160 MCr, we’ll modify both bays and supply your with your choice of any four fighters. Its a steal!

Please, licensed mercenary organizations only.

Cichlid Escort Carrier

Externally this is a standard Subsidized Merchant with some minor changes to the cargo bay doors. Internally all Cargo space has been taken up with 10 *25dT fighter bays.

Due to constraints with the hull, the faighters can only be laucnhed directly forward and no more than 2 at a time.

Recovery involves the fighter coming dead in space with the merchant sneaking up behind it and "eating" the motionless small craft.

The 10 bays are pressurised/depressurized enmass and are normally left depressurised with crew moving too and from the fighters in suits.

Bray Pty Ltd have undertaken the initial deployment of Thunder class Fighters due to unexceptedly high losses due to piracy in less patrolled areas. A spokesperson from Bray expressed his confidence in the new high tech fighters. "We have ordered additional supplies of Whoopass which will be used next time one of those snivelling pirates tries to pick on us."
