Earth Alliance SA-27A Phoenix Recon Fighter Class History The Phoenix was an attempt to refine the Starfury design, but was an abject and expensive failure. While being slightly faster than the Aurora, it was harder to maneuver and somehow managed to be easier to spot on sensors from farther away. The money poured into this project was not associated with any other project (Badger, Thunderbolt, etc.) and when the project was cancelled, no work was able to be transferred to anything else. Of the lone squadron of Phoenixes built, the surviving half dozen were sent to various museums around the Alliance. The project was briefly studied by MarsGuard when it was looking for a fighter, but was shelved almost immediately after studying the old project files and the prototype at the Olympus Mons Space Museum. (Note: This design was one of CanisD's contributors. He never made an SCS for it, so I decided to finally make one up. My version probably differs from what the author originally had in mind. The picture for the fighter can be found on Wolf's Shipyards.) Phoenix Recon Fighter SCS
