     Several years ago, Wrathtech bought a Atran Ardur Talon
fighter from Regin D'Arc, a noted smuggler who was instrumental in
the capture of Admiral Rochar.  That fighter proved the basis for
Wrathtech's new Falchion fighter.  Without the high powered Gatling
blasters, or the powerful FAM bombs, the Falchion is a good deal
more cost efficient than the Talons were.  The Falchion is still a
very powerful ship, and represents the first of Wrathtech's new
atmospheric fighter line.  With the Falchion as the anti-
personal/vehicle ship, maximized Scorpios as the primary fighter,
and Sky Fortresses for heavy operations, Wrathtech is doing their
best to corner that niche.  However, only the Falchion is in
production, thanks to the undercover actions of Impact Tech, a
rival in the market.

     The Brushfire system is a number of repeating blasters, fire
linked, that can chew up massive amounts of terrain quite quickly. 
It delivers the listed damage to a 15 meter diameter area.  While
it is not a vehicle scale weapon, the Brushfire seldom misses
targets of any scale, and delivers enough damage to take out small
vehicles with a single volley.  The light torpedoes, actually
modified proton torpedoes, are there to take out heavier craft, and
are more than capable of taking out even the most powerful of hover
tanks or Imperial Walkers.
