==Overview:==
Never known for its ground-based forces, the Outworlds Alliance has
instead come to rely on the abilities of its aircraft pilots for much of its
defense. However, Aerospace fighters are an expensive proposition, especially
for a Prehiphery nation. To solve this problem, the Alliance military has
commissioned a multi-purpose conventional fighter that can be used by the
military to provide air support for planet-side forces, freeing up the
costlier and more valuable aerospace fighters for duty in space and the upper
atmosphere.
The Spitfire's long-range firepower comes in the form of twin LRM 5
racks, with each one mounted on a wing. Backing these launchers up are twin
machine guns (also on the wings) and an SRM 2 rack. Granted, the armor is
indeed quite thin for a machine of its size; however, the decision was made
that the unit's firepower compensated for this deficiency.

==Variants:==
There are three proposed variants of the Spitfire:

A: The Spitfire A replaces the SRM rack and the machine guns for an extra
LRM-5 rack and another half-ton of armor. Given that the LRMs must now be
split among three launchers instead of two, this unit is intended only as a
mobile harrasser and not as a stand-alone fighter.

B: The B is similar to the A except that instead of the LRMs the unit has 3
SRM 4 racks. This unit has been proposed as a tank-killer.

C: The C version is by far the most radical; in it, all the missile systems
are stripped out in place of a nose-mounted AC/2. Although the design is
officially labeled as an interceptor, one still must wonder at this proposal.
