UPDATE:
I changed the aesthetics of the whole craft and rearranged the action groups.

HISTORY:
One of the biggest advancements the Azekians have made in stealing technology from other races, they have succeeded in replicating the Xenan SF-5 concept prototype. Similar to the Type-1, the Azekains gained access to the SF-5 design by scavenging its wreckage after shooting it down. Now re-named as the Type-3 Rolan, this star fighter gave the Azekians superb maneuvering, firepower, and protection never before thought possible with their pirate-based society. Not only that, but the Azekains were able to make extra money by selling the old wreckage to investors at Echelon so that they could build their own copy of the SF-5 as well. The Type-3 was the best star fighter the Azekians had possessed to date. But just like all other space craft before it, the Type-3 did not have the best engines for its purpose. It also lacked the VTOL function of the original SF-5. Therefore, it still wasn't enough to give the Azekains the tactical advantage they needed to move their planet forward and fairly compete with the ISC.
