Description: The primary Colonial space and atmosphere fighter during the first part of the Cylon War, the type gave good service, but was quickly superseded by newer and more capable models, and was relegated to service with militia and guard units.
Quirks/Special Characteristics: These fighters can still occasionally be found in military reserves, and if disarmed, in select civilian service (mostly with aerobatics companies and the like).
