The Lynx is a small Dune Buggy armed with 2 long range surface-to-air missiles, also sometimes referred to as "HAND's". The term "HAND" can be applied to just about any high yield weapon of destruction. It first came into use when fighter pilots began writing the words "Have A Nice Day" on their warheads. The phrase soon became an acronym, and now it is common place to hear a soldier speak of his vehicle as being "armed with 2 hands".

The Lynx is a light, fast ground vehicle meant to run into the field of fire, deliver its payload, and run out as fast as it came in. Typically, they are armed with either surface to surface missiles, or surface to air missiles. Lynx's play a pivitol role in knocking out enemy radar stations, allowing allied air power to safely complete its missions.

The nose-mounted cannon is a Sunburst, while the two wing mounted cannons are conventional heavy lasers. One of the more common variants, the A3-N/S Triton "Stealth" replaces the nose cannon with a pan-spectral scanner and is equipped with a cloaking device. The Stealth variant is used mainly for reconaissance but occasionally supports other ships in surprise assaults.

It's been said that the Triton Fighter spoils men; once they fly it, they will never again fly anything less. The key to this fighter's success is its oversized engines. Though they are seldom operated at over 50% power, they are there to provide the fighter's other systems with an extended power supply. The Sunburst cannon alone could not operate with much less than the power provided by the two B class engines.

As a historical note, the Triton was designed by the same corporation that built the Skyraider, hence the slight similarity between the two craft.

The non-transforming variant fixes these problems. The F-12A Hell Cat has the engines moved up directly underneath the rear wings with air intakes under the front wings. This was slightly inspired by the pink car from F-Zero (for SNES).

The Hell Cat has two hybrid in-or-out-of-atmoshpere engines. The engines operate as standard jet engines while in atmospheric flight and switch to a vented plasma mode when in space flight. Armament consists of 3 plasma missiles, one Sunburst Heavy laser cannon, and two anti-matter ejection cannons.

...So here I am, a year later, and I've decided I've never quite been happy with the landing gear setup. So, I redesigned it. The new landing gear is retractable and the Kestrel looks much better with the gear up. I also lengthened the rotor blades by two studs, modified the engines, and fixed a few structural problems (replacing multiple, smaller pieces with single, larger ones, reinforcing weak points, etc).

The Skyraider is the first of the next generation of air/space craft powered by matter-antimatter technology. The two cylindrical structures behind the wings hold a combined total of 1.2 kg of antimatter--more than enough to power the craft for literally years--and can be jettisoned in an emergency.

Propulion is provided by three, separate systems. The main engines are standard jet engines and are located behind the cabin. When the Skyraider leaves the atmosphere, propulsion is provided by the secondary system, the venting of plasma from the rear of the craft. This is terribly less efficient than the jet engines, but necessary if there is no oxygen present. Plasma venting can be used at any time, in or out of the atmosphere for a silent operating mode. The final propulsion system is based on a small directional antigravity generator located on the underside of the craft, between the antimatter containment pods. The generator can be used to provide lift, making the Skyraider a VTOL aircraft, much like its 20th century predecessor, the Harrier.

The Skyraider's armament consists of two 800 MegaWatt burst Laser rifles mounted on the wings and two Particle Beam cannons mounted on the cabin. The lasers vaporize most metals instantly and the PB-guns have been known to shatter small astroids. The defense system is also based on the antigravity generator, which can generate an antigravity force field around the craft. This field can deflect any projectile, but can deflect only the weakest of laser weapons.

Inspired by the Arilou from the video game "Star Control", the Arilou is a mysterious flying saucer that defies most of the central laws of physics. It is equipped with a Zero-Inertia Drive system, which allows it to accellerate instantaneosly, as well as letting it ignore any and all forces attempting to act upon it. All that is known about this system is that it somehow completely nullifies the Arilou's mass, allowing it to perform the bizarre assortment of meneuvers it is capable of. A favorite tactic of Arilou pilots is to approach a nearby blackhole or other massive body, and dare their attacker to step too close.

As if the Zero-Inertia system were'nt enough, the Arilou is also equipped with a powerfull, albeit, unpredictable, hyperdrive. Arilou's have vanished from radar screens only to reappear instantly half a lightyear away. The beings who designed the Arilou apparently intended for this technology to be used as a last ditch effort, since the saucers apparently cannot control where they go when the hyperdrive is activated. A few unfortunate Arilou pilots have lost their lives by rematerializing too close to stars or even inside of planets.

The Arilou is armed solely with a small, belly mounted pulse laser on a turret. The weapon has automatic aim, but fairly short range. When the attacker gets close enough, this small weapon can inflict significant, but not devastating damage. Experienced Arilou pilots do not try to destroy their enemy, rather, they try to make their enemy destroy himself or give up.

As the story goes, the first allied fighter to ever meet up with this craft saw it, laughed, and jokingly called it a "sparrow killer". His atoms were soon recycled by the new Blacktron fighter's anti-matter ejection cannons, but the name stuck...

This fighter was originally designed as a counter to the allied forces' smaller spacecraft. However, it packs enough of a punch to take on spacecraft considerably larger than it. Its primary weapons system is made up of two anti-matter cannons. Each cannon fires a dense ball of anti-matter at high velocity using an electro-magnetic propulsion system. The SK is also, of course, equipped with the standard Blacktron Cloaking device.
