The Wildcat fighter is a purely Space-based Interceptor that was introduced in 2604 AD and served into the early years of the First Terran-Kilrathi War before being replaced by the Corsair space fighter.
History
The Wildcat fighter costs fifty million a piece, son, fifty million. I guess, though, a boy like you doesn't realize just how much that is?"
The engines are outdated, stress flaws are becoming increasingly common. In short they're already five years past their design limits. The Wildcat is thirty years old and its replacement, thanks to cutbacks, won't be fully on-line for at least five more years.
