OVERVIEW

    The TME-135 Thunder Hawk is a simple dogfighter and ordinance carrier based on the "Thunder Hawk" used in the Silent Death S/TS.  Moderately fast, it is armed with four large lasers in the wings and enough armor to protect itself.  It is an unexciting craft, but it takes strength in its conventional, simple design.
