F8O Buccaneer

The Lockhart Defense F8O Buccaneer is a hypersonic, twin-engine, two-seat, twin-tail, repulsor antigrav V/STOL all-weather supermaneuverable fighter aircraft developed by Lockhart Defense for the Interstellar Coalition Marine Corps. The Buccaneer was hastily developed in response to the ICTA's 2664 Defense Procurement Program, in order to keep up with the ICTA and maintain the Marine Corps' favored position in the military industrial complex. Like the Hieroraptor, the Buccaneer was designed with the intent and purpose of being a hypersonic fighter capable of conducting both long, medium, and short-range air superiority missions across planetary theatres, capable of being launched from both aerial and naval platforms during the first stages of a planetary invasion.
Though larger than the Hieroraptor, the F8O Buccaneer is far sleeker, slimmer and compact in its design philosophy, compensating engine power for an incredibly small RCS working to its advantage. The Buccaneer also boasts ground attack, electronic warfare, long-range reconnaissance and signals intelligence capabilities, optimizing its position as a capable and potent multirole fighter.
The Buccaneer also hosts two MQ-94 Sentinel drones housed in two chambers in the rear fuselage, for usage in both dogfighting and close air support roles. These drones are typically operated by the aircraft's WSO.
