==Description==
The '''''Wusun''''' medium [[OmniFighter]] is a post-[[Jihad]] design built for [[Clan Snow Raven]] by its partners in the [[Outworlds Alliance]]. The ''Wusun'' came into existence largely due to the efforts of President [[Camden Avellar]], the head of the Alliance government. During the [[Jihad]] he strove to convince the Ravens that the [[United Outworlders Corporation]] was trustworthy enough to handle their technology, and that both parties could benefit from a commercial arrangement. By [[3076]] the Raven Council finally agreed to allow United Outworlders to build a new fighter under strict guidelines, and in 3085 the first ''Wusun'' fighters began to roll out of UOC's new factory on [[Ramora]].<ref name="TRO:3085p180+"/>

By 3085, the first of the fighters began to roll out of UOA's new factory on [[Ramora]].
  
The ''Wusun'' is most often configured as a close-in interceptor. It boasts 11.5 tons of [[ferro-aluminum]] armor, and its [[extralight fusion engine]] allows the craft to reach a maximum thrust rating of 12. Thanks to the weight saved by the engine and armor, the fighter has 24 tons of [[pod space]] available.<ref name="TRO:3085p180+"/>

The ''Wusun'' is principally configured as a close-in interceptor, with 11.5 tons of [[Ferro-Aluminum|Ferro-Aluminum armor]] to protect it. Its Extra Light Fusion Engine allows the craft to reach a maximum speed of 12. The OmniFighter has 24 tons of pod space available to handle any weapons and equipment loads.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 180 Wusun - Background and some of its specifications.</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The ''Wusun's'' primary configuration is geared towards fighting an enemy at short to medium range. The nose pods have three [[ER medium laser]]s fitted, while each of the wings has a pair of [[Streak SRM-6]] launchers. The launchers draw from a 4-ton ammunition bay. A [[targeting computer]] is included to maximum the accuracy of the laser weapons. Four additional [[double heat sink]]s have been added as well.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 181 - Primary Configuration of the Wusun.</ref>

The OmniFighter's Primary Configuration is geared towards fighting an enemy in range ranges. The Fighter's nose pods have three ER Medium Lasers fitted in it, while each of the wings has pair of Streak 6-tubed Short Range Missile Launchers with 2 tons ammunition for each pair. To help with laser weaponry's accuracy, a Targeting Computer has been added. Also, four additional [[Double Heat Sinks]] have been added to the fighter.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 181 - Primary Configuration of the Wusun.</ref>

*; Alternate Configuration C : An all energy loadout, this configuration features an [[ER large laser]] in the nose while three [[heavy medium laser]]s are located in each of its wing pods. The heat and inaccuracy problems caused by the weapons are remedied by the installation of 11 additional [[double heat sink]]s and a [[targeting computer]].
