Pyrospont Conventional Fighter
Named for the boiling sulpher-rich seas of the designer's beloved homeworld of Hsing, the Pyrospont is yet another attempt by Maximillian Liao to bolster his dwindling 'mech and aerospace forces with conventional weaponry. The Pyrospont can be quickly adapted to combat on most Capellan worlds, even going so far as to run off of standard LH2 or more primitive fossil-fuel systems. The vehicle features high speeds for a conventional fighter, as well as a medium laser for strafing and two wing-mounted LRM-5s for long-distance engagements. While never as good as true aerospace fighters, the sheer numbers of Pyrosponts that can be produced may begin to turn the tide of air-combat for House Liao in the coming years.
