Original WoD Tech Room Description
The Caliburn is the newest assault fighter available to the LSF fleets. Designed in NC0139, the Caliburn is intended to hold its own in a dogfight while carrying the punch needed to threaten enemy capital ships. Its standard loadout consists of pulsar cannons capable of vaporizing lightly-shielded fighters in a single hit, though the system can be switched out for VX-08 Plasma Cannons depending on mission profile. Due to a contractor conflict with the powerplant provider Zeonic, the Caliburn has been temporary fitted with a less powerful powerplant. Combat tests have revealed that the current powerplant is insufficient to power the craft's systems, resulting in slow capacitor recharge rates for both shield and weapons. It is expected that a refit with rectify this issue shortly.
The reflective armor fitted on the Caliburn is effective at absorbing hits from energy-based weapons, but is considerably less durable against solid projectiles.

Maximum forward velocity: 65
180-degree turn time Yaw: 2.75 seconds
180-degree turn time Pitch: 2.9 seconds

7th Generation 'LoNM-1000' heavy fighter shield generator, strength rated at 2500
LSF Caliburn Tech Room Description
Heavy firepower, decent speed but maneuvers like a pig. The Caliburn is pretty much what militaries want against small capital ships and installations. But because its a chore when it comes to maintenance and takes up too much hangar real estate, its generally not very popular with mercenaries.
CRF Excalibur Tech Room Description
The Excalibur is a CRF license produced variant of the Caliburn, it exchanged its two medium gun mounts for an additional heavy mount. With an additional secondary bank added on top of that. The added mass of its weaponry slows the Excalibur down, making it even more sluggish than the Caliburn.
