Kestrel
Rapid-response spaceplane
22% verified research coverage
An original starfighter archetype focused on acceleration, manoeuvrability, pilot safety and short independent sorties—not weapons capability.
How to read this page: percentages show how many mapped research topics have a verified record. They are not construction progress, cost estimates or technology-readiness levels.
