Class: Heavy Fighter
A traditional heavy fighter, the Thunderbolt VII can be utilized during both offensive and defensive situation alike, with enough ordinance to be pressed into service as light bombers if the need arose. Mounting a heavy array of forward energy weapons and a torpedo mount, this craft has a remarkable success rate against light capital ships and medium to heavy fighters. Sporting heavy armor and shielding, the Thunderbolt is slower and less maneuverable than the Hellcat or the Arrow but it excels at what it was primarily designed to do – go head to head with heavy targets.
