Shira class Fighter

T1-A Shira is a class of a feline personal aircraft, adopted to the military use early at Great Race War. 

The origin of a personal aircraft made the T1-A ideal for a combat conversion. The ship was outfitted with a medium pulse cannon and a simple fire control system. With these modifications completed, she was quickly reined for a combat use. As an added advantage, the pilots were already familiar with the craft due to its popular background use as a civilian craft.

The pilot controls the craft from a sitting position with a central console at front and throttle/control joystick at their sides.  Wings are designed to transform in variable configurations from level to “X” and to “H” The wing-mounted dual stabilizers provide the ship with lift. They also increase the flight stability. Thrust is provided by a single rear engine. This assured that the ship was agile and relatively fast. The design of the aircraft mirrors the pilot’s survival as an integral part of its military. Due to this, the cockpit is designed to detach and function as a self-contained escape pod in the event the craft becomes uncontrollable.

History 

The T1-A series enjoyed a widespread use by the feline populations before the war, ensuring a swift transition to its military role as an attack fighter.

The Shira was adopted during the Battle of Midgård. First armed models were preset and deployed from underground cargo elevators to the surface, allowing chosen pilot groups to immediately engage the enemy. The first squadron, designated Knave Team prevented many of the Canine Transports from escaping city. They also successfully destroyed many Temple Cruisers. Afterwards, the vehicle was massively converted into a military use, becoming a staple for the Matriarchal Feline Navy.
