−	The '''''Firebird''''' was built on [[Capella]] as an early, [[Age of War]]-era [[aerospace fighter]] design. Underpowered and lightly-armored, it did not fulfill the expectations of the [[CCAF]]. Though it carried enough fuel to achieve good velocity in space it was not very maneuverable, with its low speed and sluggish handling in atmospheric flight combined with its weak rear armor and lack of aft-mounted weapons made it easy prey for even the lightest conventional fighters. Notably, two of them were lost to a ''[[Bullfrog]]''.<ref name=ED:AoWp27-28/>	+	The '''''Firebird''''' was built on [[Capella]] as an early, [[Age of War]]-era [[aerospace fighter]] design.

−	With the rapid development of aerospace technologies, the ''Firebird'' quickly became obsolete and was taken out of CCAF service and scrapped in [[2420]]. The [[Taurian Concordat]] used some units captured during the [[Rim War]] but retired the last of them in [[2437]].<ref name=ED:AoWp27-28/>	+	With the rapid development of aerospace technologies, the Firebird quickly became obsolete and was taken out of CCAF service and scrapped in [[2420]].
