F16 SCIMITAR CLASS LIGHT FIGHTER

FORMER SOLOMANI CONFEDERATION


Back to the Starships and Spacecraft contents

The Scimitar class light fighter was in widespread service with Solomani forces, especially second line units, at the start of the Second Solomani Rim War. As the war progressed Scimitars were gradually pushed into first line units because of losses of more advanced types.

Somewhat larger than the F14 Scorpion they could not use the launch tubes on Consort class escort carriers, however they were faster than the Scorpions, boasting a 5G capability.
