BACKGROUND

The SV-51 is a Top Secret Variable Fighter developed by the three aircraft companies, Sukhoi, Israel Aircraft Industries, and Dornier, using Overtechnology obtained from the United Nations variable fighter development project through unknown means. Like the VF-0 Phoenix, (and unlike the VF-1 Valkyrie), the SV-51 is an advanced trial production model equipped with conventional engines as opposed to the proposed thermonuclear turbine engines used in the VF-1 Valkyrie and later model Variable Fighters. Unlike the VF-1 Valkyrie and the VF-0 Phoenix, the SV-51 was designed with combat in mind from the moment the designers pencil touched the drawing board. This has made the Variable Fighter more practical and with greater stability in combat situations than the VF-0. Due to the inclusion of the famous Russian Sukhoi designers in the SV-51's creation, the fighter features a higher air combat maneuverability than the VF-0 and VF-1, (assisted by the extend and retract main wings,) although it suffers from a shorter cruising range. Like its Stonewell-Bellcom counterparts the SV-51 fighter is a fully transformable fighter with a 3-mode variable transformation system allowing the SV-51 to transform between Fighter, Gerwalk, and Battroid modes.

Despite being designed and manufactured by three world famous companies from countries that were primary members of the United Nations Government, the SV-51 has found itself to be the fighter of choice of the Anti-UN Army. It was first seen in combat by a UN Navy patrol of F-14A+ Kai Tomcat fighters in the South Pacific Ocean in 2008, one year before Space War I. The SV-51 managed to suprise the Tomcat's due to the Active Stealth system that the SV-51 incorporates allowing it to overpower the UN Navy fighters with the element of suprise, and its greater manouverability.

A small number of SV-51 fighters have been modified for launching from submerged submarines. Launching from the submarine whilst it is at periscope depth, (roughly 30 metres,) the SV-51 launches wth the help of rocket motors, and then switches to its turbojet engines once it is airbourne. The versions of the SV-51 designed to launch in this manner have all received improved waterproofing and pressure resistance. These models of the SV-51 also feature a folding wing design that allows the fghter to be compact enough to fit into the submarine launching docks.

Cruising Range:
1,193 miles (1,910 Km) with standard micro-missile launcher/auxillary tank composite pods

WEAPON SYSTEMS:

  1. GSH-371 55MM GUN POD: The primary weapon of the SV-51 is a 55mm Gun Pod that is based on the VF-1 Valkyrie's GU-11 Gun Pod, although the Gsh-371 carries less ammunition due to being a smaller design.

  2. GSH-231 12.7 MM MINI-GUN: A lightly calibered forward fixed weapon in addition to the 55mm Gun Pod.

  3. TUROPOV MICRO-MISSILE LAUNCHER/AUXILLERY TANK COMPOSITE PODS: Mounted on two specially designed wingtip hardpoints are two Turopov Micro-Missile Launchers which function as auxillery fuel tanks making them somewhat like UN Spacy FAST Packs. The launchers carry the new Turopov SA-19M micro-missiles, with a total of 9 in each slimline launcher.

  4. HARDPOINTS: The SV-51 features six underwing hardpoints for carrying a multitude of missiles for combat.

  5. APP-60 CHAFF & FLARE DISPENSOR SYSTEM: Located in the rear of the SV-51 are the counter-measures dispensors. Triggered by the pilot they will release either a chaff cloud or single flare depending on what the pilot chooses. They are used to confuse enemy missiles attacking the Tomcat. Smart missiles get a 20% bonus when rolling on the below chart.

  6. HAND TO HAND COMBAT: If necessary, the pilot of the SV-51 can engage in melee combat rather than use a weapon. The Variable Fighter is extremely agile and can execute most typical hand to hand combat moves, such as punches, jump kicks, leap attacks, rolling with impacts, etc.
