Description: Regarded as the first and best line of defense for many Earth Alliance installations and outposts, the Starfury has undergone many revisions, retrofits and upgrades throughout its service history. It remains a front line non-atmospheric fighter capable of obtaining and retaining space-superiority. Its X-foil design, which mounts the pilot in an upright position to reduce the effects of high-gravity maneuvers, allows for superb agility in space combat. The Starfury is sometimes incapable of more specialized missions as it cannot enter a planetary atmosphere due to its thruster arrangement and lack of re-entry shielding. However, with its main armament comprised of a paired set of uni-pulse cannons linked to a central firing computer, it is a craft capable of successfully battling almost any alien fighter known as of the 23rd Century.

There have been several adjusted versions of the Starfury, finding specialized ways to make use of the attractive and satisfying hull for more uses. Uses like the long-ranged Badger combat fighter that combines the common Starfury and its Thunderbolt near cousin, or the non-combatant construction model that uses the fighter’s superior maneuverability and attached grapples to hold and maneuver space-borne objects that would otherwise take several maintenance hands to move. There have been many others attempted, but these are the most successful.
