Built with budget in mind, the Mosquito was designed to be easily maintained by its owners. Its only advanced component was its Fusion power plant, with the plant being fueled by three tons of fuel for flight. Inclusion of the Fusion plant was intended to allow the craft to carry more ordnance with its two [[External Stores Hardpoint]]s.

The fighter's main firepower comes from its single 5-tube Long-Range Missile launcher, which was mounted in the nose. Supplementing the launcher were two Machine Guns split between the fighter's wings.  Carrying a ton of ammunition for both weapons, the vehicle uses an [[Advanced Fire Control|Advanced Fire Control System]] to make each of its shots as accurate as possible.
