Hello everyone, this is Supercraft888, back from the dead, well not really, but you know, it's been a long time, anyway! This is the type-1 "Acticus". A pirate made aircraft with limited space travel.

It's also, I believe my first plane I've ever done with those stupid angled fuselages, and let me tell ya, they are hard as hell to work with, also if you couldn't tell this is for Mikoyanster's 6th generation fighter challenge. Best of luck to you all who competed.

"This thing is built so cheaply, yet so many pirates swear by this flying toaster, why? Becuase it fights good, that's why.
-Arthur Wright, pilot of the black legion

The Type-1 or "Acticus" is a pirate made missiler aircraft used by pirates, mercenaries, and other outlaws, it was built sometime after the galactic war of 2078. The fighter is a stealthy and fast fighter used primarily to escort bombers, or cargo ships for smuggling, or raiding. It's primarily known for having a massive amount of missiles on it despite its small size. Being a plane built by pirates, many people ended up disliking the plane and wanted it to be shut down from all markets, it was is now only available on the black market.

The plane has numerous stealth features such as radar absorb any material, radar jamming systems, and a stealthy design in general. However despite the fact it seems high tech, the plane is actually very rudimentary, it has no force field unlike most other aircraft at the time, it's also didn't have an afterburner. It made up for this lack of tech with sheer speed and agility, they were cheap to manufacture, and the pirates kept it that way. It did have one slot for extra technical equipment, but most often pilots simple put a cheap force field generator there or a life support system. It's offensive capabilities were praised by allies and enemies alike, it's manouverability, along with its speed, and array of missile made it a deadly combatant, and in the hand of a skilled pilot, this fighter was unstoppable.
