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==
{{List item
|Turret
|The vehicle featuring a powerful manned turret in its center, which can carry up to four Size 3 guns. The gunner can 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 ship.
}}
{{List item
|Weapons
|In additional to the manned turret, the ship also has a pair of Size 3 guns beside the cockpit as well as a pair of racks that can hold a pair of Size 2 missiles each. 
}}
{{List item
|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. 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. In groups, the Hurricane favours using alternative waves of attack runs, with counterattacks facing the full crossfire of multiple Hurricanes.

==Lore==
{{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>{{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 3.2.0 Available!}}</ref>
