==Description==
Manufactured for the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] by [[Wangker Aerospace]] from their plant on [[Axton]], the '''''Cutlass''''' entered service at the beginning of the [[thirty-second century|thirty-second century]]. The ''Cutlass'' was intended to battle front-line [[Capellan Confederation Armed Forces]] fighters such as the ''[[Transgressor]]'' and ''[[Troika]]'', and quickly found itself taking pride of placement in [[AFFS]] interceptor squadrons.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp52+"/>

Well equipped with advanced electronic systems, the ''Cutlass'' makes good use of its [[Guardian ECM suite]] to close within range of the primary weapons; high acceleration and 16 tons of [[Wangker Solarion]] [[reflective armor]] help protect the fighter after it strikes with its weapons. The ''Cutlass'' was swiftly in service in both the [[Capellan March|Capellan]] and [[Draconis March]]es.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp52+"/>
