Star Citizen ship: Aopoa San'tok.yāi, medium fighter

The San’tok.yāi is the next evolution of Xi’an tech and design: a medium fighter that literally flies circles around the competition.

📜 Its history

Built from 2915 to replace the Xi’an military’s medium fighter, it was first spotted by the UEE in December 2934 on the old Perry Line and designated “ARES” by the Navy. On 24 September 2941, four of them crashed on Yām’ping (Yā’mon system) after the ship they escorted exploded; a covert UEE outpost chose to rescue them at the risk of revealing itself. One pilot survived and was repatriated, improving Human-Xi’an relations. On 28 November 2948, at the Intergalactic Aerospace Expo, Aopoa announced its civilian export version.
