The [[Anvil Aerospace|Anvil]] A4A '''Hurricane''' is a fighting [[Ships|spacecraft]] that packs a deadly punch into a slight fuselage. The spacecraft compensates for its lack of creature comforts with its powerful armament: six [[Ship Weapons|ballistic guns]] capable of blasting their way through nearly anything. Hurricane pilots have yet to find an enemy [[shield]] they can't knock down.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=pledge/ships/hurricane/Hurricane|text=Hurricane Ship Page}}</ref>

==Features==

The Hurricane is fast, but not nimble, and is designed to charge in to threatened areas before rushing back out to regroup. It is a close- to mid-range ship, similar to the [[Gladius]]. It is designed to work with other fighters and support ships rather than for long-range patrols. A small power plant, zero cargo space, and weak shields and hull emphasize its role as a fragile attack ship; relying on the raw speed of its engine and the hull-busting power of its guns to protect itself. 

The Hurricane features a powerful quad-gun turret in its centre, allowing for a gunner to support the pilot with accurate fire as well as other multi-crew features like radar and missile locks; leaving the pilot free to focus on maneuvering the fragile ship. Both the pilot and gunner will have ejection seats to protect themselves if the ship is critically damaged.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15765-Anvil-Hurricane-Q-A|text=Hurricane Q&A Part 1}}</ref>

===Tactics===

The Hurricane was designed as a "Zoom and Boom" fighter; unloading its full complement of guns at a target in an attack run before flying away at high speed to reload, recharge, and avoid return fire. In groups, the Hurricane favours using alternative waves of attack runs, with counterattacks facing the full crossfire of multiple Hurricanes.<ref name="ReferenceA" />

==History==
{{Main|Casse Aerospace#Hurricane}}

<tabber>
 Origins=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
The Hurricane was originally developed in [[2607]], during the [[Second Tevarin War]], by [[Casse Aerospace]]. It was specifically designed to destroy [[Tevarin]] ships as quickly as possible the moment their [[phalanx shield]]s failed. The Casse Hurricane suffered some setbacks during the testing phase. Though pilots liked the power-to-weight ratio and the extra punch its quad-turret offered, the high degree of coordination needed between the pilot and gunner had a very steep learning curve. Because of this, the Hurricane didn't enter active combat until [[2609]]. While they were used to devastating effect in a few instrumental actions, the war ended shortly after their deployment in [[2610]]. Although it was effective during the war, it soon fell out of favor and was quickly decommissioned after [[2615]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref><ref name="jumppoint2" />
|}
|-|
 Redevelopment=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
During the second major [[Vanduul]] [[Vanduul Skirmishes|incursion]] in [[2871]], a UEE report showed that the longer a human pilot was engaged in combat with the Vanduul, the less likely they were to survive. In response, the [[UEE Navy]] requested new concepts for an alpha strike fighter that had enough "focused firepower" to quickly destroy Vanduul fighters. [[Anvil Aerospace]] redeveloped the aging Hurricane design in order to quickly produce a fighter that the Navy needed. The updated design still bore all the hallmarks of [[Leonard Casse|Casse's]] original, but with the addition of Anvil's proven conflict expertise. The result was a game changer for the war effort, and in 2878 new wings of Hurricane were being deployed by the Navy on the front-lines.<ref name="jumppoint2">[[Will Weissbaum]], [[David Ladyman]] and [[Ben Lesnick]], [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15787-Jump-Point-Now-Available ''Portfolio: Casse Aerospace''], [[Jump Point (magazine)|Jump Point]], vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 30-33, 2017-03-18.</ref>

During the [[The Fall of Caliban]], the Hurricane proved to be very effective in clearing out Vanduul fighter wings, allowing many civilian convoys to evacuate safely from the [[Caliban system]]. Its success against the Vanduul has made it a key component of both the UEE Navy and Marine fleets.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref>
|}
|-|
 Pirate Usage=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
Although the Hurricane was only produced for the UEE Military until 2947, several pirate groups have stolen them since their Anvil redesign.  Most prominently, the [[Argul Dawn]] and the [[Otoni Syndicate]] have used them very effectively to ambush and disabled cargo convoys. The Argul Dawn was so efficient with their Hurricane wings that the [[Advocacy]] launched several high-risk raids against the Argul Dawns headquarters at [[Echo Eleven]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref>
|}
|-|
 Civilian Release=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
Even though it is one of the oldest ship designs still flying, Anvil brought it to the civilian market in 2947.

==Development==

Originally the Hurricane was an option in the poll for the third starter ship<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/14295-Letter-From-The-Chairman|text=Letter From The Chairman}}</ref> but it lost to the [[Reliant]]. The concept was subsequently changed to a heavier fighter that offers dogfighting-focused pilots a ship that relies strongly on firepower at the expense of armor. The Hurricane's concept is designed by [[Justin Wentz]] (Conceptist), and [[Paul Jones]] (Art Director).<ref name="ReferenceA" /><ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15767-Around-The-Verse|trx=around-the-verse-hurricane-character-customisation|text=Around the Verse - Hurricane & Character Customization}}</ref><ref name="jumppoint">[[Justin Wentz]], [[David Ladyman]] and [[Ben Lesnick]], [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15787-Jump-Point-Now-Available ''Work in Progress: A4A Hurricane''], [[Jump Point (magazine)|Jump Point]], vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 3-29, 2017-03-18.</ref> It was officically revealed in 2017-02-25 in the {{Link RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15753-The-Anvil-Hurricane|text=Anvil Hurricane concept sale}}. In 2018-06-30, with the release of [[Star Citizen Alpha 3.2.0]], the ship became Flight Ready.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/16639-Star-Citizen-Alpha-32-Available|text=Star Citizen Alpha 3.2 Available!}}</ref>
