Next up is the T-144 Expeditionary which was a design built to be highly maneuverable, cheap to produce, and fast. Because it does not require more advanced tools to build it can be easily manufactured anywhere that has a hammer and some spare wood. Having been put into service on 6/25/1018 this aircraft has been serviced throughout the empire with great results.

Thanks to its unique engine that uses grabber mechanics and largely available saw-blades it can achieve a base flight speed of 350-500 kph without using its boosters. With the boosters active it has been able to hit 2000 kph making it one of the first respondents in combat using its great speed and agility to get into the fight take some shots and run away. Its primary use has been scouting runs, fast attack squadrons, and assaults leading heavy armor columns into both Ipsilon and Tolbrynd.

Along with its powerhouse engine and steam boosters it carries twin x4 cannons which can be more than enough to bring down aircraft as long as the pilot can keep from over maneuvering. Both cannons are also quite useful againced ground targets when used with HE rounds. Pilots assigned to the T-144 have enjoyed flying it and tend to prefer its saw-blade engine than its competitors purely just for the LoL factor of being propelled by something that was never intended to fly.
