Endevaur 2 (Remake)
The Endevaur 2 is a Close Air Support fighter and the successor to the Endevaur 1, replacing it shortly after the conclusion of the Terran Revolution.
The end of the war brought less stress on Terran engineers as they could now access higher-quality materials and more easily mass-produce quality machinery, without the risk of attack, as such the Endevaur 1 was quickly scrapped in favor of the Endevaur 2 as the new model would address the multiple issues that came with it's predecessor.
The fragile and inefficient twin wing-mounted engine design was replaced by a more powerful single-centered engine with afterburner capabilities, a targeting system was installed allowing the Endevaur 2 to mount heat-seeking missiles, and ordinance carriers were installed on the reinforced wings to allow for a higher quantity of firepower. A radar system was also installed for easier target acquisition and greater situational awareness. To facilitate riskier landings, a parachute was installed to allow pilots to slow down drastically before landing.
The Endevaur 2 also came with a few gimmicks that being its ability to jettison its weaponry in exchange for greater agility, this would allow the pilot to engage enemy fighters defensively although the Endevaur's dogfighting abilities are limited.
The Endevaur 2's full capabilities would soon be tested as around 35 years after the war, the Septan Empire would return in hopes of reclaiming the planet. The Endevaur 2 proved more than capable in its ability to provide infantry with accurate and effective air support and would see service throughout the entirety of the 1st SepTerran War, participating in multiple battles across the galaxy where several variations of the fighter being developed each focusing on covering specific roles in their respective campaigns.
The Endevaur 2's service life would end about 457 years after its inception, as technology advanced little more could be done to keep the Endevaur an effective bomber against more modern anti-air weapons and other fighters. Although its role as a CAS Fighter would end, it would see a surge in popularity in the civilian market as a collector's piece and private transport for pilots across the galaxy looking for an effective atmospheric vehicle.
