Welcome to Gaia! ::

Shinsei Industries F-202 Apollo Aerospace Optimized Heavy Fighter

Vehicle Type:
Heavy Aerospace Combat

Crew:
Pilot

Mobility:
Flying Speed 4288 kph
Ceiling Unlimited, Capable Of Atmospheric Exit

Gross Dimensions:
Height 1.7 meters
Length 11.5 meters
Wingspan 12.5 meters
Weight 21.75 metric tons

Power Systems:
Two Constantine Aerospace FE-108 fusion turbines, total engine output 220 kN total at max. power; 437 kN are available with over boost. Exhaust nozzles allow for vector thrust, serving in place of conventional elevators. System includes two reverse-vernier thrusters, on blisters outboard of each intake; exhaust comes directly from main turbine at a maximum of 20% thrust.

Four Helpina VT-19 high-thrust vernier thrusters, one on the ventral in fighter mode, three in the 'backpack' in Guardian and Battroid modes.

Eighteen P&W LHP09 low-thrust vernier thrusters distributed around the aircraft; three on each engine block/leg, two on each arm, two on the nose cone, two on the 'backpack', and four on the torso/fuselage.

Vernier vents in the wings, as part of the aircraft's space roll control.

Assorted gyroscopes for all-environment attitude adjustment and stability.

Weapons Systems:
HERG-01 Heavy Electromagnetic Rail gun (1); firing 2000 rounds per minute, 5000 round capacity, stored in the rail gun itself and the armor pack mounted to the top of the mecha. Ammunition is a mix of KP (Kinetic Penetrator), and KPI (Kinetic Penetrator Incendiary).

Mauser RsV-50 laser canons, firing 6mj every second (2); there are one mounted on each side of the cockpit.

BC-60 60mm Triple-Barreled Rotary Particle Beam Gun Pod, firing 230 rounds per minute in full automatic mode, also capable of firing all three barrels simultaneously in semiautomatic mode at approximately one shot per second. This weapon fires 6.2 MJ pulses per barrel in each mode, with its own dedicated capacitor banks in the 'magazine'. This weapon folds up into a perfectly slim almost torpedo shape that can be mounted on wing hardpoints, and on the bottom of the fighters this also allows it to reduce drag in atmosphere and easier storage for larger amounts on bases and ships.

Wing mounted Hardpoints (6); for ordnance, three are mounted under each wing, unfortunately due to the way the wings are built and the hardpoints mounted to the wings they can only carry the thinnest of missiles and are totally unable to use MERs or carry bombs which precludes the Hammerhead from being used as an attack fighter. Listed below are the most common missiles carried.

AIM-9 Side Winder Medium Range Air To Air Missile
AIM-120 Slammer Medium Range Air To Air Missile
AIM-125 Dagger Long Range Air To Air Missile
AGM-65 Maverick Medium Range Air To Surface Missile
AMM-1 Stiletto Short Range Anti-Mecha Missile


Electronic/Sensor Systems:
UWB phased array with spherical coverage, for various scan/track, battlefield surveillance and counter
battery options.

Multi-band digital camera system, for medium range all attitude infra-red imaging, optical and ultra-violet band detection and tracking.

Multi-frequency laser ranger and designator.

Radar Warning Receiver (RWR)

Infra-red Warning Receiver (IRWR)

Laser Infrared Detection And Ranging (LIDAR)

Active sensor jammer

Chaff and flare dispenser

Northrop AIF-9B Ghost Aerospace Drone Fighter

Models:
AIF-9B - Standard model has only standard piloting systems.

Design:
The Ghost has a rather bulbous body with what looks almost like three bulges attached to each other. There is three wings on the craft the two mounted to the side and the lower stabilizer all three are canted to the rear of the craft where the engine section is mounted, there are five energy guns mounted in the nose of the craft and it has a belly mounted missile bay.

Vehicle Type:
Unmanned Aerospace Fighter

Mobility:
Speed 6326 kph

Gross Dimensions:
Height 5.6 meters
Length 10.8 meters
Wingspan 9.3 meters with wings extended
4.65 meters with wings folded
Weight 13.0 metric tons empty
14.5 metric tons fully loaded
16.5 metric tons with fast packs
51.2 metric tons with booster engine
105.0 metric tons loaded in launch capsule

Power Systems:
Three FF-3001 fusion turbines (3); in tail section, providing 226 kN of thrust, 472 kN in over boost.

Rocketdyne DRaE-33 ramjet/reaction engines (7); in tail section, total thrust 218 kN each.

Assorted thrusters for space maneuvering.

The Ghost can also mount additional fast packs for additional speed and chaff and flare dispensers.

The Ghost can also be fired from a large missile tube (similar to those mounted on the Northampton-Class) inside of a huge capsule with booster engines from either atmosphere or from ships.

Weapons Systems:
Oerlikon PB234 single-barreled particle cannon (5), capable of firing 9 MJ of particle energy every second, and is powered by the aircraft's energizers. Two of the guns are mounted on either side of the nose while the fifth one is mounted in the belly of the aircraft.

Hughes HMB30 missile bay capable of launching thirty inboard variable warhead, short range Hyper missiles. Launch ports is a slide open bay located in the ventral fuselage.

Electronic/Sensor Systems:
2 OTEC RPS Remote Piloting Systems.

X-9 - BOPS-1; Bio Organic Piloting System.

Automated Exterior Guardian Interlaced Satellite System [A.E.G.I.S. System]



Vehicle Type:
Orbital Defense Satellite

Gross Dimensions:
Height 3.5 meters
Length 3.5 meters
Width 3.5 meters
Weight 5 metric tons

Power Systems:
ORTEC/General Galaxy Main reactor

Twelve Single Thrusters Are Scattered Along The Circumference Of The Satellite

Weapons:
OTEC EU-3/15 fifteen-barreled Ion Pulse Cannon (1); central body. Energy output 150 MJ per cannon, firing 500 times per minute.

Electronic/Sensor Systems:
LASER TARGETING SYSTEM; Range: 100 miles (160 km). Used for increased accuracy in the striking of enemy targets and is partly responsible for the satellite's strike bonus.

INFRARED OPTICS; Range: 2000 feet (610 m). This optical system projects a beam of infrared light that is invisible to the normal eye, but detectable by the satellites's sensors. The system allows the pilot to detect hidden/concealed objects by their IR reflectiveness. The beam will be visible to anyone with IR sensitive optics, however.

RADAR; 200 mile (321 km) range.

RADIO/VIDEO COMMUNICATION; Long range, directional communications system with satellite relay capabilities. Range: 600 miles (960 km) or can be boosted indefinitely via satellite relay.
