Summary

In 2500 AD, United Star Fighters Incorporated unveiled their first production star fighter, the USFI Star Falcon. A new fighter for a new era, what principally flew Star Falcon into the hearts and minds of its new operator Star Force was the unprecedented measures of power charging into the platform, far more than its systems needed to utilize, in large part thanks to the quad warp core setup. The resulting level of reserve power meant Star Falcons could be sent on missions longer and farther than any fighter of its type before it - or it could be harnessed.

In service with Star Force, the Star Falcon was designated F-114, in what would become known as the first-generation aerospace fighting force.

Armed with a simple but respectable dual phaser and torpedo launcher setup and defended by the latest turn-of-the-century shield and armor technologies, Star Falcon was well-equipped as a dog fighter and was deemed an excellent performer in both practice exercises and live combat. In time, such exercises would also reveal minor weaknesses in the platform.

The success of the Star Falcon spurred USFI to quickly begin development of the Star Falcon II. Upon its successor's launch in 2502, the Star Falcon squadrons were relegated to reserve duty, and fully retired in 2504.
