Page 287 of Tech Manual states that Small Craft and Aerospace fighters were introduced in the Early Spaceflight timeframe.

1) Given we have rules for Primitive Aerospace fighters in Jihad Secrets, are there such things as Primitive Small Craft? Might we ever see rules for such things?

2) Does the introduction date of Early Spaceflight mean that Primitive aerospace fighters were available in this timeframe?

3) When did 'normal' aerospace fighters become available?

Thanks!

1. The only extant rules are in XTRO Primitives Vol. II.  Any disclosure decisions regarding Interstellar Ops are beyond my pay grade.
2. Remember that "Early Spaceflight" refers to a period of time up from 1950 to 2200.  The first ASF was the Chimera (per XTRO Primitives Vol. I page 14) and was introduced an unspecified period of time after 2297 but some time before the SB-26 Sabre was introduced in 2314.  Either way, even allowing wiggle room, their availability is probably not part of the 1950-2200 ES era.
3: That has not yet been identified.
