The Reaper series fighter jet is a standard multi role combat craft with a small variety of variations; including the A, R, and B variants.

The A variant, as shown above, is the Alpha or first model. It is a staple unit deployed everywhere from the contested airspace on Pertam, to the deep space No Fly Zone around Titan. Featuring a robust forward thrust and multiple armaments, the Reaper is well known in Artemis for its rapid acceleration and punching power.

Atmo to space capability allows the Reaper to operate just about anywhere provided it has adequate support and refueling options. A single grid with 'design in mind' internal construction allows the Reaper to be printed in survival rapidly and cheaply.

This craft falls under no specific branch in the [ARDF] because it is a versatile and inexpensive asset that enjoys heavy use in almost any environment.

\\\\\\\\\\\\ LORE ////////////

The Reaper was designed based on old concept technology from Sol prior to the exodus. It was slated for experimental development but was ultimately filed away under 'Impractical' due to the technological limitations of the time. This craft, like several others developed by HDI, was improved upon and then sent into service in order to maintain a cutting edge advantage above both competitors and pirates alike.

Variations on the design offers users a wide range of possible activities that extend from stealth bombing to capital strikes via railgun sniping from distance, or simply airspace superiority. As it stands today, the [ARDF] has fielded no less than 9,342 of these craft across the system, with 8,647 still in active service over the last 83 years local. A testament to their versatility and reliability.
