K47 receives name

The K47 light fighter has been known by its project designation LLFX up until now but the Clone Air Force have finally given a name to their replacement for hundreds of ageing K40s. The K47 Freedom is the full name of the new fighter, over 25 have already been delivered. Although subsonic and quite basic in many respects for day-to-day sovereignty and general patrol missions it is perfectly adequate and has shown running cost savings over the K40s it has replaced of nearly 60%.

This is offset by building costs of course though the CAF estimate they will be in the "black" by 2116. Just over 1000 Freedoms will be built.
