F-103 Excalibur class Heavy Space/Atmospheric Fighter/Bomber

# 1307

Name	F-103 Excalibur class Heavy Space/Atmospheric Fighter/Bomber
Faction	Terran Confederation
About	The Excalibur was the Confederation's hottest new fighter in 2669. At that time, it was still in testing, but it wasn't long before it was proving its worth as it was used to drop the Temblor bomb on Kilrah. The Special Operations funded Excalibur was tested by Jace Dillon, and came equipped with a matter/anti-matter engine effectively making it a prototype for the Lance (Dragon) fighter. Though it has changed slightly since its initial launch, the Excalibur is still in service in 2681.
