First look at the space side of the Second American Revolution... The Rebels
hardy X-Wi... excuse me Excalibur Fighter.

Xcal in action
Excerpt from New America's SATOPS:

The Rutgers F-31 Excalibur fighter is not just the first line of defense, it
is the only areospace fighter in the NA Spacy's inventory.

Because of this fact, the Excalibur is heavy, and expensive; the FIST forces
opposing us can field five to ten Fireflys for every Excalibur we can put
onto the field.  It is, on the other hand, more than a match for those 10
Fireflys in the hands of a competent pilot.

The Excalibur, (commonly reffered to as the X-wing, due to its similarity to
a design found in an ancient movie) carries 4 'Golden BB' railguns, one
mounted in each wingtip.  This weapon system is capable of obliterating a
Firefly with a solid hit.  In addition, the underbody missile racks provide
plenty of space for missile based ordinance.

On the defenseive side, the X-Wing carries reactive shields capable of
turning aside the Firefly's Lazer based armament, allthough it is vulnerable
to heavy missile hits.  A heavy enough hit will fry the shield govener
circuits, disabling the shield until repairs can be made back aboard your
base.
