Design for the sole purpose of delivering extremely heavy explosive payloads. Modeled of a the standard SF-X-22 Scimitar, but with a few key difference (ie. larger wingspan for added stability)

The Shamshir was crafted by two veteran Terran pilots, Jason Roing and Kenneth Eran, after a large space battle with the Drathonians. They both had been wanting a fighter that is similar performance wise to the Scimitar fight, but while still being effective against larger cruisers. Three years later, they came out with a prototype model of the RS-T7200 Strike Bomber “Shamshir”, and quickly sold the plans and the prototype to the Terran Republic.

Fuselage and wings covered in double reinforced duratanium for added protection (at the cost of speed). Both fuselage and wings contain several sensor nodes so as to alert the pilot to anything that could be wrong in the fighter’s systems during combat.

V1-55A– the V1 is a state of the art targeting array which informs pilot/bombardier of many different variables (such as: target location/position, wind resistence [within atmosphere], electro-magnetic disruption [which throws of missile targeting], payload drift [due to gravity and/or otherwise]). Homing beacon– a simple computer guided robot deployed ahead of RS-T7200 as a scout and reference point for when commencing bombing runs.

Emergency oxygen supply– in event of a compartment rupture. Emergency eject– removes cockpit canopy if pilot need to escape quickly. Emergency side hatch– for secondary crew to escape quickly if need be.

Air Recycling System– same air purifying system found on board of the SF-X-22 Scimitar Sensor nodes– alert pilot of abnormalities in ship functions

–Identical with the SF-X-22–

To compensate for its lack in speed and maneuverability, the RS-T7200 is equipt with very effective shielding systems. Its reflector shield are capable of taking many direct hits before failing. In the event of shield failure, the RS-T7200's double reinforced plating takes over. The plating has three layers, the top and bottom layers made of solid duratanium, while the middle layer consists of ceramic tiles. This layering system alloys plating to absorb much of the energy from an attack.

Standard with eight dual missile racks. Can be altered to house missile bays in expense of engine effectiveness.
