−	The goal with the ''Tatsu'' was to create an OmniFighter that could deliver a maximum amount of damage to ground-based targets, and the use of an [[XL engine]] provides the fighter with an impressive 41 tons of [[pod space]] to accomplish this. While armored with [[standard armor|standard]] [[Naketsu MetalWeave]] instead of [[ferro-aluminum]] to avoid cramping the pod space available, an impressive 16.5 tons still provides it superb protection for a craft of its size.

−	The Primary configuration is a good example of the ground attack–oriented design of the ''Tatsu'', mounting an [[MRM-10]] rack and two [[ER medium laser]]s in the nose, supported by a [[large pulse laser]] and [[medium pulse laser]] in each wing. Those ground forces who thought the ''Tatsu'' missed them are in for a shock, with a massive [[MRM-30]] mounted aft.
