UPDATE:
I changed the shape of the air frame yet again and removed the VTOL function.

HISTORY:
The F-21 Raven was another instance of a pre-reformation jet fighter being collected then rebuilt into a star fighter by the GEO military. The F-21 Raven was originally called the [REDACTED] by a resisting human faction known as [REDACTED] that perished after the reformation of the human race and consequential unification of the Earth. It was originally designed as an air-superiority fighter with superb maneuverability, durability, speed, and firepower. Only the short fuel range held the fighter back. Upon being rebuilt into the F-21 Raven, however, the fighter was given Xenan-built plasma rocket engines. These engines were much more efficient so they helped to correct the range problem. Other changes included new avionics, new weapons, and new armor.

ARMAMENT:
