Lightning LTN-G15 Med Aerospace Fighter
Built around large bore autocannons, the venerable Lightning is well admired for its speed and armor as well. After reverse engineering the Terran Hegemony's brand new AC/10, the Capellan Confederation began a crash program to develop a AeroSpace Fighter to carry it. The resulting Lightning was well received, until the ever advancing pace of military technology left it behind. The Lightning received a new lease of life when the Lyran Commonwealth developed the mammoth AC/20, with Tengo Aerospace reworking the venerable design to include the new weapon along with ten and a half tons of BattleMech class armor and a more efficient GM Fusion Engine in 2511. Unfortunately Tengo's hopes for renewed sales were dashed when the CCAF chose to go with Mujika Aerospace Technologies' cheaper knock-off of the Lightning, the Transit, instead. Desperate to survive, Tengo illegally sold the design to Lyran and Davion manufacturers, with the fighter slowly spreading across the Inner Sphere and ensuring its survival in the Succession Wars. |
