F-300 “Trident“

F-300 “Trident“ Multiatmospheric/Exoatmospheric Multirole Fighter MEMF

## History:

Originally created for an UNCAS contract as a more economic strike and support fighter for medium intensity conflicts that was suitable for a large variety of atmospheric regimes. The contract ultimately went to another company, but the F-300 was still produced for several colonial defence forces and performed very well in its roles.

### User:

Colonial Guards

Capable of limited spaceflight, but unable to endure atmospheric reentry. Can be deployed from planetary bodies without atmosphere and capable of performing landings there.

### Design Choices for cost savings

* No stealth design
* no ground to space propulsion on earthlike planets
* only semi-capable of atmosphere reentry
* Relativly limited exoatmospheric capabilities

## Operations:

Made famous by the 2nd Squadron (later known as “The Ghostbusters“ ) of the 1th Aerospace Wing, Darbo Aerospace Guard by their attacks on Bailean forces and subsequent withdrawal of the invaders.
