Description
The LF-18 Gladius is a brand-new production line utilizing enhancements over the LF-17 Wyvern series, primarily utilizing a remote cockpit for better pilot survivability and being far lighter and smaller while able to take all the same missiles.

The LF-18A was rolled out in response to growing pirate threats among the outer regions during the initial years of the Factorum War, primarily being an anti-insurgency weapon.

The LF-18B is a further refinement with closer-off-boresight coaxial guns and the wingtip weapon pylons replaced with 2x autocannon turrets driven by AI gunners, allowing the full use of the onboard radar and navigation suite alongside launching missiles and firing of the main guns while the autocannons can engage independently.

The LF-18B additionally uses 2 modified AGM-35A's with the ballistic nosecone of the AGM-35B to allow for better penetration and internal damage of targets.
