New Sparta has begun development of its replacement for the F-10S Shark 2100 fighter. The new warplane is expected to enter service by 2130 and will be a development of the Ferret UCV. President-elect Sea Urchin, in one of his final acts as Director of Technology, announced the project on Solaris earlier today.
"We have been playing catchup with the Clones for a long time. The F-10S is good but the Clones are far ahead with the K45C Falcon. We aim to jump ahead with the new fighter which will be a fully autonomous air fighter able to beat anything up there!" he said though he did not offer any further details or even what the new fighter will be called. A spokeswoman said that would be left to Sea Urchin's replacement as Director (Knobhead) to decide.
