==Description==
 
==Description==
The first '''''Samurai''''' [[aerospace fighter]]s were introduced by the [[Terran Hegemony]] even before the [[Exodus (2242)|Exodus]], when Terran forces realized the need for a strong, capable ground-attack fighter. [[Fairchild Dornier]] managed to design a fighter which would meet these expectations, and so ''Samurai'' production began. However, the [[Amaris Civil War]] led to the destruction of ''Samurai'' factories, stopping the production in [[Production Ceased::2774]].

By the late [[thirty-first century]], the Fairchild Dornier had rebuilt the ''Samurai''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s production lines for the [[Lyran Alliance]] during the [[Jihad]]. This was due to disruptions in production of its mainstay medium fighter, the ''[[Lucifer]]'', during that time period.<ref name=TRO3039p202-203/>

==Armament==
 
+
The SL-25 is a 50 ton [[Aerospace Fighter]] with 5 [[Medium Laser]]s firing forward to attack ground units and additional single Medium Laser for attacks while moving away. Additionally short range [[Small Laser]]s allow it to attack fighters of same size or larger, while a single aft-mounted Small Laser is useful for dogfights with more agile enemies.<ref name=TRO3039p202-203/>
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
The SL-25 mounts five [[medium laser]]s firing forward to attack ground units and an additional medium laser for attacks while moving away. Additionally, three [[small laser]]s allow it to attack fighters of same size or larger, while a single aft-mounted small laser is useful for dogfights with more agile enemies.<ref name=TRO3039p202-203/>

==Notes==
 
* The [[Unseen]] ''Samurai'' image first appeared on the ''[[AeroTech]]'' box (top and bottom). This image never appeared along with game stats, and was only identified as the SL-25 ''Samurai'' when [[Ral Partha]] released a miniature for it.
 
 
 
* The [[Reseen]] ''Samurai'' image first appeared in ''[[AeroTech 2 Revised Edition]]'', illustrated by [[Chris Lewis]]. Its first Technical Readout appearance was in ''[[Technical Readout: 3039]]'', illustrated by ''[[Doug Chaffee]]''.
