Quickly developed and deployed in the 40s, the FL-50 Asteroid was an interceptor that was quickly developed to counter the Howzer Cyclone's hit and run attacks flying on both air patrol and escort for attackers, replacing the FL-52 Bullet for the Wright Territorial Air Force's Air to Air combat role. It was only developed in few numbers as it was a temporary solution to a small scale threat. It could equip light amounts of Air to Surface armaments, if ever needed.
