==Description:==
 
{{shipimage|image=[[Image:Uefuhlan.jpg]]|caption=The {{PAGENAME}}}}
 
===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 in the second bank, 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==
 
{{Comment|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.
 
 
 
 
 
Despite the fact that it's not as fast or deadly, the Uhlan is actually harder to kill than the [[UEF Kentauroi]] because of its tiny target profile. When flying this, try to maneuver as much as possible and realize that your target profile is only marginally bigger than an [[SF Dragon]]. Don't get fixated on your targets, just attack when you can and do as much damage as possible before evading counter-attacks. An Uhlan with two banks of [[Rapier]]s and [[Dart]]s is a match for anything, its tiny profile keeps it safer than the Kent and it still has heavier firepower than most GTVA fighters. When you're GTVA, use high damage/shot weapons like the [[GTW Prometheus S]] or [[GTW UD-8 Kayser]]. A [[GTF Atalanta]] or [[GTF Nyx]] will make fairly easy work of these, theoretically.}}
