This single man fighter is an early variant of the SF-X-22 “Scimitar” that used to be the backbone of the Terran Navy, but now is primarily only used for training purposes. Main fighter used at Prestige Valley Naval Academy

At its prime the Dagger was state-of-the-art and was the mainstay of the Terran Navy. Relatively easy to produce and due to the time of peace they were manufactured by the thousands. At the time of the Drathonian betrayal, the Terran ship yards were among the first areas attacked. This sudden and violent attack resulted in the destruction of the Terran ship yards and thousands of Daggers reducing their numbers dramatically. After the attack the Dagger's role in the navy was reduced as its production was halted in light of a new type of fighter, the Scimitar.

The pilot sits in the cockpit in a semi reclined seat. The controls are a double set of joysticks, one on each side. it is controlled similar to a present day bobcat. The cabin is pressurized and has artificial gravity to combat g-forces. The canopy is made from transparent duratanium. There are numerous volumetric displays showing information from the sensors inside and outside the ship.

The fuselage and wings are composed of duratanium plating. There are 12 hadpoints on the ship. 4 on each wing, 4 at the wing roots and 2 on the nose.

SF-TF: An archaic version of the SF-OS operating system used by the Scimitar.

Pilot's Helmet: the helmet is wirelessly linked to the SF-OS and can interpret Thought signals, making piloting easier.

Emergency eject: there is an emergency eject button for extreme emergencies.

Signal beacons: small remote dropped to signal location.

Distress beacon: the pilot's helmet has a built in distress beacon.

Air Recycling System: The air of the SF-X-20 is filtered through a Co2 scrubber which purifies the air. Can maintain healthy oxygen levels for 2 days

Pilot's helmet: the helmet features a built in HUD and in an emergency can keep the pilot alive in a vacuum for several hours, provided the pilot does not freeze/burn to death

Dynamic Thruster Drive: A network of small front, rear, lateral, dorsal, and ventral thrusters. These thrusters permit very swift and erratic, yet calculated movement in battle.

Propulsion: The fighter propels itself at speeds many times the speed of light by use of a Micro-warp drive. This allows the fighter to travel thousands of times the speed of light.

The Daggers are powered by an Energon drive. Those not originally made with one have been retrofitted to utilize it.

Shielding: Now considered out-dated, the Dagger is equipped with a shielding system that was once the top of its class. Providing excellent protection from most all projectiles, it had a fatal flaw, it was sensitive to heat. Due to this, it was impractical in most situations when fighting enemies who utilize plasma and energy based weaponry. Due to this flaw, the Dagger’s own engines would weaken the shields around its tail end.

It comes with 4 turbo lasers and 2 missile pods as its main weapon systems.
