Recognition notes
The Defender II is a 25-ton fighter flown in the fire-support role. It drops the Defender's nose-mounted SRM 2, leaving the LRM 5 in the right wing and the LRM 5 in the left wing as its sole armament. Each of those launchers now fires with an Artemis IV FCS in its own wing, tightening the missile spread the original lacked. The fighter carries standard armor and runs on an ICE plant as before. Caletra Fighters builds the type, alongside Imstar AeroSpace, Jalastar Aerospace, and Wakazashi Enterprises.
