AF/A-29 Phoenix atmospheric
attack craft
The Phoenix is a 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 PDL cannons and three ELS tubes capable
of firing up to 6 SAPM-6III Strike Arrow missiles.
