The Retaliator

The Arionian 4.5-gen fighter!

Lore:

During the late 1980s, global tensions across Novara- especially in the Estarin Sea- made it clear to Arionia that they would need better and stronger fighters than ever before.
They held a competition between three of the best aircraft manufacturing companies in their nation, known as Aerostar, Vertex, and Airfoils Inc. But none of their designs were quite perfect. However, the three companies decided to combine their efforts into one, and after some brainstorming, the YF-7 was born. The Arionian government approved the design, and after several successful test flights on the prototype, the Retaliator would enter Arionian service on June 14, 1992.
