OVERVIEW
The TME-141 Blood Star is a powerful light aerospace fighter that can engage craft of all sizes as well operate in round-support roles. The Blood Star is constructed within a compact frame that minimizes its profile to the enemy while durably supporting its densly-packed equipment. Fast, maneuverable, and well-armed, the Blood Star is a favorite light fighter with Inner Sphere aerospace forces.
CAPABILITIES
An extended-range particle projector cannon mounted in the fuselage along the ventral centerline gives the Blood Star unparalleled long-range combat capability while six medium lasers, three to a wing, can quickly disembowl enemy craft with volleys of enfilading fire. The nacelle-based powerplant provides exceptional propulsive capability while maintaining an acceptable center of gravity. The blade-like control surfaces, paired with the thrust-vectoring exaust nozzles on the powerplant nacelles, give the Blood Star amazing maneuverability by taking advantage of the Blood Star's instability. Advanced avionics computers just aft of the cockpit maintain the steady flight of this inherently unstable platform. Seven tons of advanced armor composites protect the Blood Star and its components from damage.
DEPLOYMENT
The TME-141 Blood Star is a popular light aerospace superiority asset, so popular that the TME-141(C) was created to appease Clan demand for this versatile fighter.
