History & Data
The Shackle like the Lock and bolt was designed by Lockheed and Dornier in the formers German based design facilities but final testing and the majority of the manufacture was carried out by the Lockheed Plant in the U.S. with small amounts being built by the Dornier plant and even a few dozen were assembled by Martin Marietta.
The Shackle was the Earth’s third successful fighter craft to be used in outer space; the earlier models being of mixed failure and success but was in service longer than both fighters combined and served up till halfway through the First Solar War but was later replaced by the cheaper to manufacture F/S-4 Chain.
The Chain unlike the Lock and Bolt had a more traditional fighter like hull that was long and slender with three huge engines to the aft with the nose narrower out to the single-barrel 100cm rail gun.
Losses were so heavy against the Martian Republic’s Long Eagle that they were quickly replaced by the cheaper to produce Chain.
