T98-Raptor

The T98-Raptor is the main fighter used by the Tonanarian race. It saw heavy action in the Great Universal War and was eventually replaced by the mark 20 raptor after marks 2-19 failed to live up to expectations for mass production.

Technology
The T98-Raptor mark 1 uses a stealth design that allows sensors to either be redirected away from the craft or glide right over it as if it were not there, it is armed with a high impact plasma canon that can be fired when the nose of craft opens up and twin mount heave plasma assault guns on either side of the cockpit, and finally has a select fire multi-weapon mount capable of carrying anything from air-to-air missiles to nukes. when a weapon is selected from the pilots joystick control the proper weapon is spun into position as a hatch under the fighter opens up and the weapon is extended once the fire button is pressed the selected weapon fires from the extended arm. and finally the engines, as with all Tonanarian propulsion systems high-density-ions or H.D.I.s for short are used to propel and steer the craft numerous H.D.I. thrusters lined the hull of the craft allowing it to turn and maneuver. the same system is used in atmosphere but maneuverability is severely hampered by wind sheer the mark 20 includes all of the mark ones weapons systems except for the plasma cannon, the mark 20 also includes a a neural-link interface that allows the fighter to maneuver as fast if not faster than the pilot can steer because the interface uses the pilots link to predicted and execute the pilots moves.

Pilots
Raptor pilots are the best pilots in the universe and thus are more cautiously chosen than say that of a T-rex pilot. the capability of the raptor and so much that most pilots cant even handle flying in a straight line let alone combat. the neural-link was implemented into the mark 20 to solve these problems but even so the number of qualified pilots is still quite low for any fighter type this lack of pilots and therefore air cover is what lead more than anything to the development of the FQN397-T-rex-fighter which although less capable added an extra boost to the number of fighters the Tonanarians could field.
