Earth Alliance ESA-23S Prowler EW Fighter

ESA-23S Prowler Specifics

This Fury was a limited production model designed to provide fighter attack groups with EW escort the entire way from carrier to objective. Essentially two Aurora furies joined at the cockpit, it was larger than the standard fury, and was deployed even less than the SA-23G Badger. It was mostly deployed aboard Explorers headed for uncharted territory, as well as in special pods that could be attached to a Poseidon or Utrecht class carrier in place of a standard fighter bay. This pod contained all the support equipment needed to support and maintain a flight of Prowlers. They were armed with two uni-pulse cannons, and could carry up to eight missiles, usually two self-defense dog-fight missiles, and the rest were usually HARMs. They were also equipped with a powerful EW system capable of creating ELINT type effects for fighter groups.

(Note: This fighter is based on a design I found at the Starship Modeler site. It is located in the gallery section, under the topic of Starfury contest. There's a bunch of cool looking Furies on that page, as well as a few other cool models that I may eventually make SCS's for.)
