[[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/> ==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/> ==Variants== *; SL-26 : After over 150 years of service, Dornier redesigned the ''Samurai'' to take advantage of [[Star League]] technology; this version was introduced in [[2620]].<ref>[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/2791/samurai-sl-26 MUL online date for the SL-26 ''Samurai'']</ref> This variant comes with an [[XL engine]], [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, and 18 [[single heat sink]]s, while the two [[medium laser]]s mounted on the wings were replaced with [[ER large laser]]s.
