Description:
The Axe Heavy Fighter is the premier high-performance space fightercraft used by the Democratic Republic Navy and the HDY Self-Defense Forces. Despite its good armor the Axe retains a high level of agility and a devastating punch using its eight gatling cannons.

The Axe was developed out of the fear that the Terran Navy would quickly adapt to a Carrier-based doctrine and escort their Battleships with wings of Fighters. The design of the Axe therefor is geared almost exclusively towards dogfights with other Fighters. Despite the rather large proportions development was quickly finished and the craft exceeded all expectations. It is noteworthy than Amanda Lopez played a large part in this project, an ingenius engineer who is rumored to be a member of HDY's "Think Tank" of elite scientists and engineers.

While production quickly started, the expensive price tag and long manufacturing time makes mass production trickier than expected. Nonetheless, if a heavy enemy Fighter presence is expected on a battlefield, one can rest reassured that a wing of Axe Fighters will be present as well.

Important notice: Although my craft feature a full conveyor setup, they might prove impractical for survival use! The conveyoring is done for balance reasons to prevent my craft from becoming overpowered in comparison to others.
