Using long-range electronic assault technology first developed in Africa, the R.N.A R72-TigerShrike represents the earliest example of LEAP technology in a fighter. Though not as advanced as later examples, such as the AFDL Shrike and C.A.S Kestrel, it bested every one of its contemporaries, and remained unchallenged for many years after The Great War ended in 2300.

Blending a suite of advanced, long-range electronic weaponry with state of the art missiles, nuclear disruptors, rapid fire cannons and long range sensors, the R72 proved that size doesn't give a damn when it comes to being on top of the game.
