IGFW Mid-Range fighters are now the standard for the fleet replacing the older fighters. The F-357 nicknamed the "Magnum" or "The Widowmaker" is a warp capable multi-role trans-atmospheric fighter. Carrying a standard payload of no less than 32 long range antimatter intercept missiles 24 fire and forget AAI (Advance artificial intelligence) missiles capable of "dogging" a target and evading enemy fire, and 8 multipurpose IFC (in flight configurable) multifunction missiles and a single omni-directional Antiproton beam generator. The F-357 is a formidable warbird. Fast sleek and stealth capable this machine is the pinnacle in federation fighter technology. The F-357 boasts regenerative shields capable of withstanding a direct hit from a 20 gigaton warhead. Survivability on the battlefield was the primary concern for designers going forward and the effort shows. The craft is considerably larger than most space fighters at roughly 6 meters in length and 2.5 meters wide the large profile would seem to make it an easy target and were it not for the sensor-spoof technology it most certainly would be but getting a positive target lock on one of these death machines is easier said than done as it sends false readings which cause most sensors to falsely indicate that it is nearly 20 meters from its actual position. Pinpoint VMG thrusters allow this agile craft to turn 180 degrees in an instant these are synced with the Inertial invertors to prevent undue stress on the pilot. The powerplant is a JK Riggs dual antiproton injected core lined with Absorbium 120 which boasts a maximum output of 2.2 million gigawatts per hour for 6 hours at maximum output. The F-357 is capable of traveling at 5xLS5 for maximum range of roughly 10.7 light years before needing to refuel with an emergency reserve for an additional 30 minutes of flight time. An Adamantine reinforced pilot's compartment with built in maneuvering thrusters (which can be ejected in the event of catastrophic or impending damage) is resistant to tractor emitters and is visible most scanners as simple debris. Upon ejecting the warp cores are designed to breach destroying the fighter in a spectacular explosion which also acts to cloak the pilot's escape. Sensor scans of the fighter will detect only debris allowing the pilot to escape once the aggressors have departed. The federation does not consider any of it's fighter pilots or other crew expendable and works tirelessly to insure mission success and survivability are paramount.
