UPDATE:
I changed the shape of the air frame, the style of the aesthetics, and removed the VTOL function.

HISTORY:
The SC-122B Stuka Styra, which means "Super Stinger" in Vontaran, is the main star fighter of the Vontaran Socialist Republic (VSR). As its name suggests, it's an upgraded version of the original SC-122A Styra. Though it is not as good as the Drazen, the Stuka Styra is a significant improvement over its previous iteration. Whereas the original Styra was a heavy interceptor, the Stuka Styra is a proper air superiority fighter with improved speed and maneuverability. These improvements were made possible by adding canards, installing stronger engines, and re-distributing the center of lift and center of mass. The Stuka Styra may officially be a Vontaran space craft, but most of its development was done on Planet Xena by the State Aerospace Administration. Mass production of the Stuka Styra is still being done there as well. This is not an issue for the VSR, however, as the VSR is a sympathetic faction operating in favor of Xena.
