The VF-13A “Firedrake” is a multi-role combat aerospace craft, capable of operating both within an atmosphere and in open space. Its primary role is as an aerospace superiority fighter, but it can be pressed into service as an interceptor or electronic warfare craft, and is also equipped to function in a limited surface attack capacity.
The Firedrake is a true jack-of-all-trades, able to operate competently in a variety of mission roles, although not matching the performance of dedicated craft built for that particular purpose.
