====== Assegai ======
This ancient short range local defense fighter fighter was phased out from imperial service but still forms the majority of the local defense fighter forces. It is built on a 10 ton stremlined hull. The MHD turbine makes it much cheaper than nuclear powered fighters, but short ranged and harder to supply.

Front Hull System
   * [1-4] Hardened Advanced Metallic Laminate Armor (total dDR 24).
   * [5!] Major Battery (turret with 8cm electromagnetic gun).
   * [6!] Major Battery (turret with 3 MJ laser).
   * [core] Control Room (C4 computer, comm/sensor 2, and one control station).
Central Hull System
   * [1-2] Advanced Metallic Laminate Armor (total dDR 12).
   * [3-6] Fuel Tanks (0.5 tons fuel and 4 km/s delta-V each)
   * [core] MHD Turbine (two Power Points).
Rear Hull System
   * [1-2] Hardened Advanced Metallic Laminate Armor (total dDR 12).
   * [3-4] Fuel tanks (0.5 tons of antimatter-catalyzed water with 4 km/s delta-V each).
   * [5-6] High-Thrust Fusion Torch Engines (water reaction mass, 3G each).
