Today, the Empress with the advice of the Council of Seven, as announced her intention to stray from the generally accepted Western Tech. Just days ago, she announced her intention to complete the FS-X (F-2) project, but has now cancelled the F-16 based fighter.

It isn't known with what the several F-16Ks and F-15Ks will be replaced with, however, rumor speaks that an independant contractor may be contacted to fill at least one of the gaps.

Further rumors that the Empress contracted the nation of Raysia to help in design of a new front line fighter were too confirmed. More news when it becomes available.

Oh, I couldn't find a good rising sun pic, but does this work?

Hmmm...perfect technology demonstrator, and I'll assume the standard Su-37 grey/white scheme for combat, but thanks much. Info about the above pictured aircraft will be released soon...

Fixed colors, fixed rising sun logo.

That is our current concept art picture, and we can help you draw up specifications if you wish...

Hmm, I wonder if this will rival our RF-11s (Our top Conventional aircraft)?

What exactly do you want to use for Engines and Weapons etc?

Engines, weapons, etc. for this fighter are all beign taken care of here, but should we meet any snags, we will let you know first. The weapons system will revolve mostly around localy made systems, with some "Soviet", or Eastern, tech weapons systems. However, we do plan on incorporating your QAAM-28s into the pacakge.

~~Taka Kitsuto, Head of Military Technological DevelopmentWe strongly recommend installing twin QAAM reloaders into the design, we find they help out greatly in long missions or fights where you are outnumbered.
