The [[Anvil Aerospace|Anvil]] '''F8A Lightning''' is a heavy fighter employed by the [[UEE Navy]] to support space superiority. It was specifically designed to counter heavy [[Vanduul]] craft, such as the [[Glaive]] and [[Scythe]]. It is a more nimble and heavily armed fighter craft than its [[Hornet (series)|F7]] predecessor, trading off a second turret for more fixed weaponry. |
