===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 and packs less firepower than the [[UEF Kentauroi|Kentauroi]], the Uhlan is actually fairly hard to hit because of its tiny target profile, which is much smaller than the [[UEF Kentauroi|Kentauroi]]'s; it's even slightly more maneuverable. When flying this, realize that your target profile is only marginally bigger than an [[SF Dragon]]. An Uhlan with two banks of [[Rapier]]s and [[Dart]]s has heavier firepower than most GTVA fighters.
 
 
 
 
 
The Uhlan is extremely similar stats-wise to its direct Tev competitor the [[Perseus]], with a slightly better turn rate (but slightly slower roll), equivalent shields, armor and burners, but one more gunpoint and half more secondary capacity, which is in accordance with the high-intensity UEF ship design. It is, however, marginally outclassed by the newer [[Atalanta]] which has better shields, armor, burners and one more gunpoint for an equivalent secondary capacity, although merged in one bank.
 
 
 
 
 
Surprisingly enough, the Uhlan is compatible with the [[Gattler]], of which two full banks will significantly multiply the volume of your ship, as shown in the gallery. It is also compatible with some of the higher-tier Federation weaponry such as the [[Rapier]], [[Slammer]] and [[Paveway]], letting it compete decently with the [[UEF Kentauroi|Kent]] and [[UEF Uriel|Uriel]].
