Description

The first Samurais were introduced for the Terran Hegemony even before the 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. The Amaris Civil War however led to the destruction of Samurai factories, stopping the production in 2774.

Armament

The SL-25 is a 50 ton Aerospace Fighter with 5 Medium Lasers firing forward to attack ground units and additional single Medium Laser for attacks while moving away. Additionally short range Small Lasers allow it to attack fighters of same size or larger, while single Aft. mount Small Laser is useful for dogfights with more agile enemies.
