Hornet Star Fighter

This is an inexpensive star fighter equipped with a faster-than-light drive, though lack of longterm lifesupport mostly limits it in range.

Its SM +5 unstreamlined hull masses 30 tons and is 10 meters long. Despite the lack of streamlining, its high thrust allows it to operate easily in atmosphere.

This is the less prestigious starfighter than the Starhawk. Being restricted to short interstellar travel at most.

Most fleet units that have gotten the TL 11 upgrades use this as their 30 ton fighter, offering a large increase in combat power over the previous Meteor
