==Description==
The '''''Slayer''''' is a [[Draconis Combine]] heavy [[aerospace fighter]] designed before the fall of the [[Star League]], and is noted for its endurance and armor. A multirole fighter, the ''Slayer'' has the firepower to take on both other fighters and [[BattleMech|'Mechs]], with many pilots mistaking the compact design for a lighter craft, a mistake they rarely live to repeat. The ''Slayer'' also boasts a double capacity fuel tank, allowing it to loiter over the battlefield for extended periods of time.

*; SL-CX-1 ''Slayer'' : In [[3075]], a ''Slayer'' was the subject of an experimental aircraft program conducted jointly by [[United Outworlders Corporation]] and [[Clan Snow Raven]]. This variant of the ''Slayer'' has a mix of Clan and Inner Sphere technology, and has been equipped with a 400-rated [[XL engine]] to increase its speed, has eight tons of fuel to keep the engine operational, and mounts 16 [[double heat sink]]s. Its hull is protected by 19 tons of [[ferro-lamellor]] armor and an experimental [[Laser Anti-Missile System]] covers the aft firing arc. The fighter's Clan built weapons include a Clan-made [[RAC/5]] with two tons of ammunition, and four experimental [[improved heavy medium laser]]s mounted in pairs in each wing. Only five prototypes were produced.<ref name=ETRO:Mp14>''Experimental Technical Readout: Mercs'', p. 14: "SL-CX Slayer"</ref> BV (2.0) = 2,287
