An upgraded variant of the MAS-F 3.0 Sprite, the MK.II features an even higher altitude ceiling and higher maximum speed due to the lack of parasite drag as the payload has been moved inside the fighter to allow it to partake in stealth missions -

The first aircraft developed in the Mesospheric Anti-Satellite initiative, the MAS-F 3.0 - codenamed "Sprite" is a hypersonic carrier based fighter craft capable of altitudes far exceeding those of typical air breathing aircraft of the early 21st century thanks to its quad cold fusion engines that allow for multiple modes, most noticeable being its EOS (Edge of Space) global assault mode and its low atmosphere mode that can be utilized for dogfighting and anti-ship missions. the Spr rite is controlled by a single pilot using a neurological connection bridge which allows the aircraft to be flown by a pilot without the risk oh hypoxia and other altitude related injuries caused by the flight altitude by the craft and also allows higher maneuverability and less weight.
