Lightning Chief Space Fighter

International Aerospace IAS-150 Lightning Chief Space Fighter. Armed with a single Railgun and two tactical lasers on each wingtip. Thrusters placed along several key areas allow for fantastic vacuum environment manoeuvres. The cockpit also ejects in the event of an emergency.

This spacecraft is not designed for atmospheric re-entry or use, hence the lack of landing gear or ceramic tiles. The Lightning Chief is held in zero-gee hangars, clamped by specially designed machinery within the support vessels or military space stations.

Pilots commonly wear lightly armoured space suits in the event that the shields, hull and cockpit canopy fail.
