−	The '''Saroyan Jump bomber''' was designed by Saroyan Special Productions of [[Sian]] to meet demand for a new conventional fighter to fill the need for cheap airframes for private militias and [[Home Guard (Capellan Confederation)|Home Guard]] units that faced a long wait for true [[aerospace fighter]]s.
