In response to everyone's request, starting today, I will summarize the main armaments of Fourth Civilization and send them to the chapter comments in this form, free of charge.
1. Blade-class fighter/Arrow-class Scout
From "Homeworld 1", these are the two fighter designs that come with the mothership, which are very backward. Among them, Blade-class fighter is 7.4 meters long, and Arrow-class Scout is 9.5 meters long. Both are equipped with two six-tube Electromagnetic Cannon, which were later modified to be equipped with red lasers. These two fighter jets are completely behind the times. Compared with the existing spaceships in the world of "Star Wars", they have no resistance at all.
Only a few hundred were produced before and after Blade-class fighter, and they were quickly eliminated. Later, after switching to blue laser weapons, they were more or less capable of fighting, so they were put on the black market by Yuri-Orlov in exchange for some funds needed for development. This kind of fighter jet is no longer seen in the Milky Way.
2. Wraith fighter
From "StarCraft 1", CF/A-17 Wraith fighter, Wraith, is the second fighter produced by Fourth Civilization. In order to adapt to multi-functional operations in space, the volume has been increased. It is 10.4 meters long and 14 meters high including the bottom flap. There is an elite version, larger in size, with more firepower and maneuverability.
Equipped with a stealth system, its main weapons are three Pulse Laser cannons and Gemini multi-function missiles. This is also the second fighter jet produced by Fourth Civilization and the largest number of fighter jets manufactured.
The performance of Wraith fighter is extremely good, and the general-purpose model is very good, so even now, Fourth Civilization continues to be produced, and has gone through eight improved models from Type-A to Type-G. At present, the number of Wraith fighter produced has reached millions, and it has performed well both in the military and in the black market. The Wraith fighter equipped with a stealth system is a hot commodity in the black market. There is even a modified version equipped with a hyperspace engine in the black market. It can be said that sales of Wraith fighter have become one of the most important financial incomes in the early days of Fourth Civilization.
At present, the production speed of Wraith fighter has slowed down, because Tyran Heavy Industries has submitted the new improved model-Spectre fighter for review and passed, which will soon replace the status of Wraith fighter.
3. Hiigaran stealth fighter
From "Homeworld 1", this stealth fighter is 15.4 meters high and is a crescent-shaped fighter equipped with two six-door Electromagnetic Cannon and the first-generation stealth system. Because the weapons of this fighter jet did not meet the requirements and it was unable to conduct combat in the atmosphere, it was abandoned by the Fourth Civilization military. Now it is mainly installed on Grey Horse-class escort carrier to protect Fourth Civilization's shipping in various places.
At the same time, the sales volume of this kind of fighter jet in the black market is also quite good.
4. Hiigaran bomber
From "Homeworld 1", it is a 23-meter-long bomber equipped with plasma bombs and is very powerful. However, because Fourth Civilization obtained the technology of Proton Torpedo from Galactic Republic, which allowed Wraith fighter to also have strong anti-ship capabilities, this bomber was abandoned by the military. And the sales on the black market are not good, and now they only appear occasionally in the escort fleet.
5. SJF-14 fighter jet
From "Homeworld: Kharak Desert", this is a fighter jet that can only be used in the atmosphere. It is 20 meters long, has a slender fuselage, and has a maximum speed of Mach 4.2 in the atmosphere. It is equipped with Gemini air-to-air missile and a Pulse Laser cannon. Moreover, the engine of this fighter jet has been specially designed to continue fighting in extreme sand and dust weather and high temperature weather. In a desert environment like Tatooine, its combat capability far exceeds that of Wraith fighter.
However, because this kind of fighter is suitable for too few places, its output is limited and is mainly used for Planetary Defense Forces.
6. Banshee attack aircraft
From "StarCraft 2", it is 8.5 meters long, uses Turbofan Engine, can only fly within the atmosphere, is equipped with a stealth system, and the weapon system is a shock wave air-to-ground missile or rocket pod. Because of its excellent maneuverability and powerful airborne and fire support capabilities, it is an extremely powerful Hiss high-speed attack aircraft and is the second most produced Fourth Civilization fighter jet. It is widely used in ground landing battles on the front line and in suppressing riots on planets in the rear. It is a notorious aircraft in the minds of the Rebel Alliance everywhere.
7.Viking fighter
From "StarCraft 2", 9.7 meters in length, equipped with a stealth system, the weapon system is a multi-barreled blaster cannon, Gemini air-to-air missile, Lanzer Torpedo, and the deformation system was removed at the suggestion of Tang Xiao. There is an elite version, larger in size, with more firepower and maneuverability. Although the length does not appear to be long, the overall shape is short and thick, and the bomb load capacity is much larger than that of Wraith fighter.
Viking fighter has good maneuverability and air combat capabilities, and can carry the more powerful Proton Torpedo, which poses an even greater threat to warships. Therefore, Fourth Civilization often uses Viking fighter as a bomber, and cooperates with Wraith fighter to achieve every disadvantage.
8. GA-TL1 Longsword Sky Fortress
From "Halo", it is 64 meters long, has a wingspan of 75 meters, and is 12.9 meters high. It is an aerial fortress that can be said to be a frigate. The whole thing is a weapons arsenal, and the equipment that can be carried includes 2×M9109 ASW/AC 50mm MLA cannon, 110mm rotary anti-ship rapid-fire cannon, retractable 120mm abdominal cannon, 4×ASGM-10 missiles, ASGM-15 "Shield Buster" EMP missiles, Octadart laser-guided bombs, 1×Shiva-class anti-ship nuclear missile, 36×Eel space mine, etc.
With such terrifying weapons, basically one Sword-class Aerial Fortress is enough to cause devastating damage to a small town. And because they have the supersonic cruise function in the atmosphere, Galactic Empire and TIE fighter that rely on anti-gravity engines to fly cannot catch up in the atmosphere and can only be beaten passively.
Now this extremely powerful equipment has just been installed by Fourth Civilization, but it has become a nightmare for the Galactic Empire Army.
9. YSS-1000 Sabre-class fighter
From "Halo", it is currently the most advanced and largest fighter aircraft of Fourth Civilization. It has a length of 24.6 meters and a wingspan of 18.9 meters. It is equipped with two sets of blaster cannons and two sets of missile launchers. Sabre-class fighter is the master of Fourth Civilization fighter technology. It crushes existing fighter jets in terms of maneuverability, flexibility, acceleration and maximum cruising speed. With the assistance of the most advanced intelligent AI, an ace pilot flying Sabre-class fighter can even compete with the fighter jet flown by Jedi Knight!
Therefore, in subsequent operations, Sabre-class fighter will be equipped as a high-end fighter aircraft for the Fourth Civilization navy and army, and its high cost also restricts large-scale mass production.
In addition, a shortcoming that is not a shortcoming is that Sabre-class fighter is actually a space fighter, and it does not have the function of supersonic cruise in the atmosphere.
10. F-41 Blade-class fighter
From "Halo", this fighter was developed as a low-end supplement to Sabre-class fighter. When Halo Weapon Systems Corporation analyzed the technology of Sabre-class fighter, it also completed the technical analysis of Blade-class fighter, localized its technology and put it into production.
Blade-class fighter is 20.2 meters long and has a wingspan of 19.7 meters. It is equipped with two sets of blaster cannons and two sets of missile launchers. The performance of Blade-class fighter can be said to be a completely castrated version of Sabre-class fighter, but this fighter has achieved a good balance in terms of production cost.
Overall, the Blade-class fighter is not equipped with a stealth system, but its maneuverability and firepower exceed that of the Wraith fighter. At the same time, the production cost is higher than that of the very mature Wraith fighter, so this fighter jet has not received many military orders. However, Modell Sector and Hoth Sector are very fond of this type of fighter jet with strong independent combat capabilities, and have ordered many for local defense.

In response to everyone's request, I started writing an inventory. I thought it was very simple at first, but later I discovered that the workload of this thing is almost the same as writing a new chapter... Well, since it has opened a hole, it must be filled. I will gradually publish the review content in this form in the future. I hope everyone will support me.
