Absent Friend

The Novaya Rhodina Sukhoi 60 Light interface fighter. its single weapon may seem limited, but its centerline fuselage mounts a Beirenkov BkLh ship class heavy laser, making it deadly in any close combat with other fighters in atmosphere or in space.It can also carry four light missiles on wing hardpoints.
What it lacks in armor or in weaponry it makes up for in speed and agility - its the equal of any fighter in the TP inventory, one in which simple and robust design wins out over higher tech, living up to its Praesidium designation of "Springer"
