Description: The Badger-class Starfury was a long range fighter-bomber used by Earthforce during the Earth-Minbari War.
Similar in design to the SA-23E model Starfury, the Badger employed the same four arm mounted multi-directional engine pod design that allows for a high degree of maneuverability, while keeping the flight crew as close to the center, thereby minimizing the effect of G-forces on the crew while performing extreme maneuvers.
Unlike the SA-23E however, the Badger features a two person crew, seated abreast at the front of the fighter's elongated fuselage.
