==Description==
Designed as an inexpensive [[conventional fighter]] at the dawn of the [[Age of War]], the '''Mosquito Light Fighter''' was a popular aircraft for its time. Designed by then [[Andurien AeroTech|AeroTech Industries]] of [[Andurien]], the vehicle saw widespread use between the [[Capellan Confederation]] and the [[Free Worlds League]] but was also licensed to other minor concerns. The Mosquito's success during these times helped propel Aerotech into an interstellar giant of its time.  

By the [[twenty-sixth century]] the air vehicle had become obsolete and was considered [[Primitive Technology|primitive technology]] and had thus faded from use.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', p. 13 Mosquito Light Fighter - Background information.</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
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.

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

The Mosquito's hull is protected by one ton worth of BAR Grade 6 Armor.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', p. 13 Mosquito Light Fighter - Stats for fighter.</ref>

==Design Quirks==
The fighter features the following [[Design Quirks]]:
* [[Atmospheric Flyer]]
* [[Easy to Maintain]]
* [[Obsolete|Obsolete/2510]]

==Notes==
* Though the Mosquito was intended as a Primitive Conventional Fighter, Support Air Vehicle construction rules were used to create this vehicle.
* It has an [[Equipment Rating]] of D/D-X-X/E.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', p. 13 Mosquito Light Fighter - Equipment Rating, and explanation of vehicle's construction rules.</ref>  
* As of this writing, there is no [[Battle Value]] assigned to this unit.
* The Mosquito Light Fighter's image originally was used for the [[Angel]] Light Fighter. Though the Angel was built by the same company that originally built the Mosquito, it is unclear if they share the same design legacy.
