The F7A Hornet Mk I is a space-combat legend from centuries past: the original military version of the Navy’s medium fighter.

📜 Its history

The F7 Hornet has been humanity’s main military safeguard for 150 years. The first F7A came out in 2806 and replaced the Aegis Avenger as the UEE’s standard medium fighter. The Mk II became legendary after covert missions in Odin and a decisive victory at the Battle of Vega; Anvil opened it to civilians in 2954. Fun fact: to “civilianise” its fighters, Anvil has to rebuild classified military systems without access to them, sometimes from public holographs alone.
