Tailcodes

There are billions of Strike Craft, and as such, it’s easier to assign Strike Craft Tailcodes to their corresponding base or ship.

First Number - Base of Origin

1 - Ship Based
2 - Station Based
3 - Ground Based

Second Number - Service Branch

1 - Naval Defense Force
2 - Ground Defense Force
3 - System Defense Force
4 - Reservist

Third Number - Type

1 - Space Superiority Fighter
2 - Space-Air Strike Fighter
3 - Assault Strike Craft
4 - Heavy Cargo Craft
5 - Spaceborne Early Warning & Control Craft

Fourth Number - Prefecture ID

1 - Rose Prefecture
2 - Vance-Delta Prefecture
3 - Anchorfield Prefecture
4 - Exterior Prefecture
(WIP)

Ex. 3221-V is the Tailcode for Littoral Patrol Corps Aerospace Station Vigilance.

Space Superiority Fighters

Designed for exo-atmospheric combat, Space Superiority Fighters lack traditional control surfaces, instead using Reaction Wheels and Thrusters to change heading. Most of these carry missiles, often being referred to as ‘Missile Haulers.’ While primarily used to counter enemy fighter equivalents, enough Space Superiority Fighters can put serious hurt into Capitals.

SSF-149 'Scythe'

SSF-149 ‘Sycthe’
“The Sycthe? It flies. It turns on demand. Good seating. The Cascadium Powerplant hums weirdly. I can’t tell you if that’s a bad thing. It has an Internal Weapons Bay, and can carry enough missiles to make a Destroyer run for it’s life. Plus, a 32.5 incase you expend everything. Overall, this was my first Space Superiority Fighter, 8/10.”

SSF-176 'Sickle'

SSF-176 ‘Sickle’
“I was a Sickle Test Demonstrator. The base model is a bit bigger than the Astra Model. It’s relatively new. It carries a lot of missiles. Incredible amount of missiles. Some would consider it unreasonable, but when you can hit something like thirty targets, you’ll stop complaining that the turn time is marginally worse.”
