Nu-11 Lo-Shżuro

{||} The Nu-11 Lo-Shżuro ('The Pursuer') is a two-engine supermaneuverable fighter aerospacecraft of the Hierarchy, designed for carrier-borne aerospace superiority, strike and orbital defence roles. Developed by Ñushurssa, it is used by the Integratoriate Aerospace Force, the Direct Force and the Astroexploration Corps. Both manned and unmanned variants of the fighter exist, though the former is more widespread and used as part of tactics supported by the Nu-7 Lo-Żurato and Nu-88 Krhatktka drone fighters.

The Shżuro is capable of both terrestrial and space operations, though it is generally considered a better aerial fighter; the Nu-11/3 Lo-Shżazarat is the variant used by the Aerospace Forces for dedicated deep space missions. The Shżuro is certified for unassisted atmospheric reentry via, and when fitted with external droptanks is capable of (Single-Stage to Orbit) launches from a planetary surface. In terms of armament, the Nu-11 is typically armed with SY-21 or the SY-7  tactical laser unit. It can mount a variety of other munitions for air-air, space and strike roles.

The Shżuro makes use of the Zolo Active Protection System, a suite of defensive features centered around a directional Magneto-Radiative Emitter for deflecting light kinetic impacts and particle beams.

General characteristics

 * Crew: 1
 * Length: 24.00 m
 * Wingspan: 15.92 m
 * Height: 5.64 m
 * Powerplant: 1 × YT-67 Miniaturised Fusion Reactor

Armament

 * Guns: 1 x SY-21 Particle Lance / 1 x SY-7 Tactical Laser Unit
 * Hardpoints: 12 hardpoints (6 × internal, 6 × external)

Variants

 * Nu-11/3 Lo-Shżazarat - Specialised deep space variant of the Shżuro. It features greatly improved, additional directional thrusters and expanded heat radiation and management systems, granting it a greater degree of maneuvering freedom and allowing it to compete toe-toe with dedicated space fighters. Though still capable of planetary operations, its flight characteristics in-atmosphere, as well as its SSTO and reentry capabilities, are sacrificed for the improved exo-atmospheric performance.
