| The UEF Uhlan |
Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description
The UEF Uhlan is the most commonly used fightercraft in the United Earth Navy. Designed primarily for the space superiority role, the Uhlan is a cost-efficient design that is inexpensive to produce and relatively easy to pilot. The Uhlan is compatible with most Navy weapons and is generally considered a medium-performance vessel. The Uhlan is able to operate within an atmosphere due to an aerodynamic design, and its excellent Saab maneuvering thruster suite gives it sterling agility in a dogfight. Unlike many UEF fighters, however, it lacks reverse thrust.
Developer Notes
Except for visible primary weapon models, the Uhlan is identical to Steve-O's original FTF Lancer.
Name Origin
Uhlans were Polish light cavalry armed with lances, sabres and pistols.

Veteran Comments
Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.
The Uhlan is a decent fighter, but not exceptional and not on the same level of quality of the other UEF fighters. It gets the job done in the early missions but is certainly not as good as the Kentauroi or Uriel.
