Darrian Deziror Class Heavy Fighter TL 15

Another 50-ton deep space fighter. Note the Darrian variations: fiber optic computers and Airframe configuration. (All Darrian craft that enter atmosphere have wings (AF config)). Built on Darrian at one of those "gee, we're only really TL 13 except for all these pre-Maghiz artifacts...and TL 16 research labs, and TL 15 starports, and TL 15 factories, and TL 15 ..." starports.

Sylea Class Heavy Fighter TL 15

My resurrection of the 50-ton heavy fighter from Book 9: Fighting Ships (NOT FSOSI!). I improved it by upgrading the computer to a Model 9. This baby can kick the ass of anything in the opponent's fleet, and can't be hit by anything short of a spinal mount. Have fun trying to win a space battle using your spinal mount on hundreds of Fighters!
