Raubvogel-class Abfangjäger

Obsolete.

The primary interceptor of the Abwehran Armed Forces (AAF).

The first strike craft developed by the Abwehrans that could fight in both space and air, the Raubvogel was a dangerous vessel versus fighters in the air. But since it was the only vessel of it's type in space, it was mostly used in distraction tactics versus larger vessels.

The Raubvogel is a specialized attack craft to intercept and destroy fast and maneuverable targets.

With Capital Ship and Infantry requests being met more and more, other branches of the military began to suffer. The Navy and Air Forces of the Schirmherrschaft were still using some of the equipment left over from the Rebellion. The main problem was with the aircraft. The needs for new and more modern fighters could now be heard.

Kaiserlich F+E's response was the creation of a separate department for aerospace fighter design. The first design to come out of the department was for that of a Superiority Fighter for both air and space. The Raubvogel became the premier interceptor of the two combat military branches and is now stationed at every base and station.
