| The '''Hornet''' was a [[Terran Confederation]] light-fighter spacecraft. It was mainly used during the [[Terran-Kilrathi War]]. Its specialty was reconnaissance, patrol and light anti-shipping duties through the entire run of the war. A trainer variant of the Hornet is flown by beginner pilots at the [[Academy|Terran Confederation Space Forces Academy]].
| |
| | |
| Noted Hornet squadrons include the [[Yellowjackets]] and [[Killer Bees]] assigned to the [[TCS Tiger's Claw]] during the [[Vega Campaign]]. Former [[Terran Confederation|Terran]] president [[James Taggart]] began his career flying Hornets.
| |
| | |
| The Hornet was officially replaced by the F-54 [[Epee]] in 2661, though Hornet squadrons continued flying combat missions through the [[Battle of Earth]]. After the war, surplus Hornets were sold to the [[Free Republic of the Landreich]] - where they served in numerous border disputes. VF-12, the [[Flying Eyes]], flew Hornets to some distinction during the conflict with [[Ragark da Haka]].
