Description:

WCS Description (F-103A Excalibur)

The Confederation's next generation fighter, the Excalibur combines the latest Terran technological advancements with captured Kilrathi cloaking technology. Specifically designed to outfly and outfight the Kilrathi Bloodfang, the Excalibur can take on any fighter in the Kilrathi arsenal and win. It can be configured to fly any mission in any space or planetary environment from ground attack to fighter sweeps. It packs heavier beam weaponry, missile loadout, and shielding than any ConFleet heavy fighter in service with the speed and acceleration to rival even light fighters.

Scooby's Shippack Description (HF-72 Excalibur)

The Excalibur was released shortly before the end of the Confederation/Kilrathi war and was credited for ending the war with the dropping of the Trembler bomb. Over the next few decades the Excalibur received minor upgrades and modifications. This new version is the first major overhaul of the design. The main new feature is it's thrust vectoring wingtip engines.
