DSF Starfighter Command

Summary
The fighter and bomber corps of the DSF, the most dangerous yet skilled of its main branches. Operates both in space and in atmosphere. See DSF Starfighter Command for details on composition and equipment.

Ethos & Training
See Directorate Star Forces for details.

Composition
DSF Starfighter Command is divided simply between Fighter Corps and Bomber Corps, both of which undertake both space and ground support actions.

DSF Fighter Corps
The DSF's old air forces in the Aero-space Command were given a space combat role due to engaging against enemies which used the modern equivilent of skirmishers to great effect, and have since become a force to be reckoned with themselves. Their early vessels, like the Einstein Cross were criticised for having too great an emphasis on armour and firepower at the expense of speed and manuverability, thus the new Pegasus Alpha is now the mainstay of the DSF Fighter Corps.

DSF Bomber Corps
Like the DSF Fighter Corps, the Bomber Corps originally had a strictly air-based role in supporting Terrestrial Command. Today, they find employment in ground and space - with powerful payloads delivered by their ever-reliable Ceti starbomber, which has remained the mainstay of the Bomber Corps for decades.

Deployment
Currently, the Neo-Terran Directorate is engaged in no outstanding active conflicts, thus DSF Starfighter Command is engaged in standard patrol operations, and guard operations. It is unknown how large a contingent they have in the mystereous Sol Expeditionary Fleet.
