UPDATE:
I tweaked the aesthetics of the whole craft.

HISTORY:
The Azekians, natives of Planet Azek, are a race that struggles to survive on a barely hospitable world under the rule of a cut-throat stratocratic government and no functional economy. As a consequence, the Azekians depend on interstellar piracy as a means of sustaining themselves. The Azekians have been living this way since the pre-war Watershed Scandal and they have been considered as a hostile enemy of many different factions across the galaxy. The secret to their success is the blatant copying of technology stolen from other factions. The Type-1 Monza star fighter was one example of this copying. The Type-1 was based off of the design of the F-17 Hawk originally developed by GEO. After successfully shooting down a GEO fighter pilot during a recon mission, the Azekians were able to scavenge the wreckage of the F-17 and reverse-engineer its air frame, armor, and weapons. The only things that could not be replicated were the avionics, targeting system, and engines. The Azekians had to develop their own substitutes. As a result, the Azekians obtained a star fighter that was functional enough to intercept merchant ships then plunder their loot. The rate of increasing piracy crimes and hostage harboring has increased dramatically due to this advancement, and the Azekians were proud of it. Very much to the irritation of the Interstellar Socialist Coalition, Vontaran Liberation League, Vontaran Socialist Republic, and even Echelon at certain points.
