Overview[]
The AF/A-29 Phoenix Slipfighter is a long-range combined fighter/attack craft designed to operate in Earth-normal atmospheres and high-orbit.
Extremely maneuverable, the Phoenix is the primary close air support and long-range interdiction asset for the Lancer Corps during planetary combat operations. It is also used to clear hostile skies of tactical fighters, to clear the way for incoming Lancer drop ships and establish air dominance in advance of the main planetfall assault element.
The Phoenix is equipped with dual Point Defense Lasers and three Electromagnetic Launch System tubes capable of firing up to 6 SAPM-6III Strike Arrow missiles.
