SECONDARY (OFFENSIVE):
The fighter was able to hold up to 20 tons of bombs and missiles externally. There were three hard points under each wing (1 forward next to the aft section of the cockpit, and two side by side under the wing next to the inside of the engine nacelle) and one hard point on the
centerline of the fuselage, for a total of 7 hard points. The standard outside ordinance payload normally consisted of 12, SST-1M, 1000-pound short-range space torpedoes (2 torpedoes on each hard point except the center hard point, which was left empty). After 2073 AD, the payload became 6, MST-1M 1000lb medium-range space torpedoes (one on each hard point except the center) and a pair of Bohing/MMI M230-AC-GP gunpods mounted side by side, facing forward, on the center hard point. This
configuration was used up until 2125 AD, when the HSF-01 was retired from service.

Description/Overview:
(HSF-01)
The HSF-01 was the first craft built using TerraTech (Terran Technology). With elements of both the alien (Prodono) and Earth technologies incorporated into it, the HSF-01 was the most advanced spacecraft of its time. The HSF-01 was designed to replace the Kentucky class of assault shuttles. However, it did not; instead, it was used in addition to the Kentucky class, usually protecting Ogre class troopships. Its primary role as a spacefighter was the defense of spacecraft within the EFR fleet. The secondary role of this spacefighter was as an interceptor. The HSF-01 was often used to intercept and destroy enemy escort ships and cruisers.
The HSF-01 was used up until the end of the 2nd Interplanetary War (2105 AD). During the 1st and 2nd Interplanetary Wars, the HSF-01 performed well against the UNSC, Ceres, and USSR mobile weapons. However, by the end of the 2nd Interplanetary War, the HSF-01 was obviously too venerable and obsolete to remain in service with the EFSN. The newer mobile weapons and transformable fighters were far superior to the HSF-01, and all but 23,000 were destroyed during the 2nd Interplanetary War. These remaining craft found their way into colonial defense forces after the Planetary Alliance sold them off in 2125 AD.
The only design variant of this craft was the HSF-01D, which was the two-seat trainer version. Other than the twin-seat cockpit, the craft was identical to the standard HSF-01.
(HSF-01B)
With the outbreak of the 1st Interplanetary War in 2070 AD, the Earth Federal Forces quickly became aware of the need for a high-speed courier craft capable of transporting vital data, personnel, and other items within their sphere of influence. The spacefighters of the day were normally too slow to be of much use in situations where time was of the essence. The EFF initially wanted to create a high-speed version of their HSF-01 spacefighter in addition to the standard model. The Eudaemonist-controlled Federal Senate denied the EFF any funds for the creation of a new spacefighter. The Earth Federal Forces were then stuck with the only solution they had, which was to use the existing HSFs and either modify or upgrade them.
It was the company Norking that proposed the creation of a space booster system to the military. Instead of creating an entirely new
spacecraft, Norking designers recycled the old idea of using the tried and true method of attaching additional engines to a craft via another vehicle. Thus, the concept of the HSF-01B was born and development began in late 2070 AD.
Within three months of the project’s start, a working prototype was constructed, and after only four months of testing, a fully operational booster for the HSF-01 was completed. Full production of the new booster began in late 2071 AD.
The engines chosen to act as the boosters were a pair of the new, and at the time experimental, Bohing PLD-01 plasma drive engines. These engines produced an immense amount of thrust that allowed the craft to reach speeds of 1,520,000 mph. The fuel efficiency of the plasma drives was such that the boosters did not need to be refueled for one Earth year. This gave the booster-equipped HSF-01 (later designated HSF-01B) the speed necessary to travel anywhere within
the Earth sphere at nearly ten times the speed of the HSF-01’s engines alone.
Only 30,000 HSF-01B booster systems were constructed by the EFF. Of those, 1500 that were built during the 1st Interplanetary War, an additional 9500 were constructed during the Ceres Conflict, and 19,000 were built during the 2nd Interplanetary War to extend the lifespan of the ailing fleet of HSF-01s in service with the Earth Defense Forces of the Earth Federal Republic.
(HSF-01E)
This variant of the HSF-01B was built in 2073 AD for operation “Clean Sweep” by the newly established Warptron Company at the EFSM
spacestation Nowhere Station. Essentially, the HSF-01E was identical to the HSF-01B except that the “battle section,” which contained the targeting RADAR and beam cannons, was replaced by an EWAC dish. This dish contained the most advanced electronic systems of its day and could act as both the standard and the jamming type communications and sensor equipment. This EWAC suite gave the HSF-01E booster system unparalleled electronic warfare capabilities.
The majority of HSF-01Es were built during the 1st Interplanetary War with a total of 8000 units by war’s end, although an additional 1500 units were constructed during the interim period of reconstruction between the 1st Interplanetary War and the Ceres Conflict. These additional units were built to help track down and apprehend the UN and EFF spacepirates that plagued the spaceways
of the Sol System. By the time the Ceres Conflict broke out, nearly 10,000 had been produced.
The HSF-01E was used almost exclusively with the HSF-01D twin-seat model of heavy spacefighter. The “two-seater” was used so that the pilot could fly the HSF while the copilot/sensor operator could focus on the EWAC sensor suite of the craft.
DESCRIPTION:
Holds up to 20 tons of bombs and missiles. There are three hard points under each wing (1 forward next to the aft section of the cockpit, and two side by side under the wing next to the inside of the engine nacelle) and one hard point on the centerline of the fuselage, for a total of 7 hard points.
The standard outside ordinance payload normally consisted of 12, SST-1M, 1000 lb short range space torpedoes (2 torpedoes on each hard point except the center hard point which was left empty). After 2073 A.D. the payload became 6, MST-1M, 1000lb medium range space torpedoes (one on each hard point except the center) and a pair of Boeing/MMI M230-AC-GP gun pods mounted side by side, facing forward, on the center hard point. This configuration was used up until 2125 AD, when the HSF-01 was retired from service.
