Designed to engage and disrupt multiple enemy fighters simultaneously. Named for the Hawaiian goddess of fire, lightning, wind, and volcanoes. Against aerospace fighters it can overheat and send out of control it's opponents, while picking apart the out of control fighters with it's heavy medium lasers. Against any other aerospace target it can unleash a blistering barrage of plasma fire that would make anyone wary. It's electronics suite gives it cutting edge sensors and ecm, and it's blue shield technology ensures enemy PPC fire will have a hard time bringing countering it.
Universal Exports sells these fighters primarily to the Raven Alliance and the Ghost Bear Dominion, through it's Sea Fox allies. The republic purchases a small number as well, which invariably go to it's spirit cat contingents. Overtures to sell them to the Capellan Confederation were rebuffed as it used foreign plasma technology, which was, apparently, an affront to the chancellor himself. The DCMS has shown some interest in the design, but has not acted on it yet.
