-Developed starting in [[calendar:ye_33]] and into [[calendar:ye_34]], the Hayabusa V6E is a ‘Thought Starfighter’ developed by Taisa [[:character:kage_yaichiro]] with [[corp:kage:project_thought:project_thought_plan]] technologies as well as extensive support and input from [[:character:murasaki_emiko]], creator of the [[:stararmy:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]] and ensuring a certain level of cross-compatibility.  Unlike previous efforts in the Project THOUGHT design lineage such as the [[corp:kage:project_thought:tsubame_fighter_prototype]] from which the Hayabusa V6E was developed, this was designed as a true military project.+Developed starting in [[calendar:ye_33]] and into [[calendar:ye_34]], the Hayabusa V6E is a ‘Thought Starfighter’ developed by Taisa [[:character:kage_yaichiro]] with [[corp:kage:project_thought:project_thought_plan]] technologies as well as extensive support and input from [[:character:murasaki_emiko]], creator of the [[stararmy:small_craft:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]] and ensuring a certain level of cross-compatibility.  Unlike previous efforts in the Project THOUGHT design lineage such as the [[corp:kage:project_thought:tsubame_fighter_prototype]] from which the Hayabusa V6E was developed, this was designed as a true military project.
  
-The Hayabusa V6E is a redesign of the successful [[:stararmy:hayabusa_v6d_starfighter]] which retains many of the systems and components which made the it successful in the first place.  Standardization allows for existing Hayabusa V6D and Hayabusa SD frames to be upgraded to Hayabusa V6E specifications and integrates some features of the [[:stararmy:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]].  It utilizes the [[:stararmy:ke-v9-e3303]] of the V9 Nodachi or the [[corp:kage:project_thought:pilot_pod]], the latter of which allows for a full panoramic view with tactile controls for conventional control, as well as a fully thought-based control system for improved response time and micromanaging.  The Pilot Pod's thought-based control system, however, requires a digital brain present in the NH-series.+The Hayabusa V6E is a redesign of the successful [[stararmy:small_craft:hayabusa_v6d_starfighter]] which retains many of the systems and components which made the it successful in the first place.  Standardization allows for existing Hayabusa V6D and Hayabusa SD frames to be upgraded to Hayabusa V6E specifications and integrates some features of the [[stararmy:small_craft:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]].  It utilizes the [[:stararmy:ke-v9-e3303]] of the V9 Nodachi or the [[corp:kage:project_thought:pilot_pod]], the latter of which allows for a full panoramic view with tactile controls for conventional control, as well as a fully thought-based control system for improved response time and micromanaging.  The Pilot Pod's thought-based control system, however, requires a digital brain present in the NH-series.

-Descended from the [[corp:kage:project_thought:tsubame_fighter_prototype]], the Hayabusa V6E is a long-intended upgrade to the Starfighter line using technology derived from Project Thought’s efforts to develop the [[yamatai:ketsurui_fleet_yards:keiko_thought_armor]] and [[yamatai:ketsurui_fleet_yards:kirie_thought_armor]].  Unlike them, however, it can be used by pilots without digital minds in a conventional configuration while allowing for improved control and visibility.  Developed with the resources of the Seventh Fleet in secret, this machine is intended to expand upon and improve Yamatai’s existing armaments through an upgrade program to existing Hayabusa V6D and Hayabusa SD frames.  During this time, [[:character:murasaki_emiko]] served in the same fleet, and concepts of the [[:stararmy:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]] were integrated into the Hayabusa V6E design not only to solve various problems, but also to ensure compatibility.+Descended from the [[corp:kage:project_thought:tsubame_fighter_prototype]], the Hayabusa V6E is a long-intended upgrade to the Starfighter line using technology derived from Project Thought’s efforts to develop the [[yamatai:ketsurui_fleet_yards:keiko_thought_armor]] and [[yamatai:ketsurui_fleet_yards:kirie_thought_armor]].  Unlike them, however, it can be used by pilots without digital minds in a conventional configuration while allowing for improved control and visibility.  Developed with the resources of the Seventh Fleet in secret, this machine is intended to expand upon and improve Yamatai’s existing armaments through an upgrade program to existing Hayabusa V6D and Hayabusa SD frames.  During this time, [[:character:murasaki_emiko]] served in the same fleet, and concepts of the [[stararmy:small_craft:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]] were integrated into the Hayabusa V6E design not only to solve various problems, but also to ensure compatibility.
  
 While the earliest concepts are only two years old, the technology in the craft has been in development for four years – a notably long development period.  This is due both to security concerns regarding the core technologies of the project, and the fact that it is an offshoot design – a deviation from the original Power Armor focus of its designer.  However, the intent of the machine to slash response time and give the pilot an edge is the same as in its Power Armor cousins, and it uses many of the same technologies and software.  Overall, this is intended to notably improve hit ratios and generally re-establish Yamataian superiority in Starfighter combat against brain-slave controlled NMX craft. While the earliest concepts are only two years old, the technology in the craft has been in development for four years – a notably long development period.  This is due both to security concerns regarding the core technologies of the project, and the fact that it is an offshoot design – a deviation from the original Power Armor focus of its designer.  However, the intent of the machine to slash response time and give the pilot an edge is the same as in its Power Armor cousins, and it uses many of the same technologies and software.  Overall, this is intended to notably improve hit ratios and generally re-establish Yamataian superiority in Starfighter combat against brain-slave controlled NMX craft.

-The Hayabusa V6E could be considered the completed form of the Tsubame prototype designed two years prior, utilizing the same type of ejectable cockpit and boasting similar technologies.  The Hayabusa V6E, however, can come as both an upgrade and as a new machine, allowing an efficient upgrade program to be enacted throughout the Star Army.  Engine designs explored on the Thought Armors are included, however, and are a generation beyond the crude versions on the Tsubame.  Thrust Vectoring is also notably improved, the main type no longer relying exclusively on additional verniers or physical movement of the thrusters.  Even the weapons systems have been modified to allow for the V9 Nodachi's modular system on the underbody which permits the Hayabusa V6E to carry an array of weapons or equipment.  The turrets of the machine have even been modified with new joint types devised from four years of research to improve target acquisition.  The design is a general improvement to the already well-proven design, and elements of the [[:stararmy:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]] have been integrated for even greater effect and common parts pool.+The Hayabusa V6E could be considered the completed form of the Tsubame prototype designed two years prior, utilizing the same type of ejectable cockpit and boasting similar technologies.  The Hayabusa V6E, however, can come as both an upgrade and as a new machine, allowing an efficient upgrade program to be enacted throughout the Star Army.  Engine designs explored on the Thought Armors are included, however, and are a generation beyond the crude versions on the Tsubame.  Thrust Vectoring is also notably improved, the main type no longer relying exclusively on additional verniers or physical movement of the thrusters.  Even the weapons systems have been modified to allow for the V9 Nodachi's modular system on the underbody which permits the Hayabusa V6E to carry an array of weapons or equipment.  The turrets of the machine have even been modified with new joint types devised from four years of research to improve target acquisition.  The design is a general improvement to the already well-proven design, and elements of the [[stararmy:small_craft:v9_nodachi_assault_fighter]] have been integrated for even greater effect and common parts pool.
  
 The control system in the Pilot Pod was made from the beginning to allow for the integration of the SPINE interface for NH-29 use as well as mental transceivers for Yamataian use, but the panoramic cockpit and tactile configuration allows a single pilot to manage the craft effectively.  The inclusion of SPINE into both the military-upgraded [[species:minkan]] and the standard [[species:nekovalkyrja:nekovalkyrja_type_33]] models was not finalized at the time the project was first conceived, but only helps to aid the acceptance of the SPINE-derived thought-based piloting system as the standard.  The V9 Nodachi cockpit can be used in lieu of the Pilot Pod, as an advanced but conventional option.  The software of the Hayabusa V6E uses code based on that in the Kirie and Keiko, and has an option to change the system's function to more closely match that of the V9 Nodachi.  This allows for a larger degree of ease in transitioning between Power Armor and Starfighter roles and a reduction in training time for new soldiers training to use both systems.  It even includes the Army's new protections to ensure that the craft is being accessed by a trusted ally before being used. The control system in the Pilot Pod was made from the beginning to allow for the integration of the SPINE interface for NH-29 use as well as mental transceivers for Yamataian use, but the panoramic cockpit and tactile configuration allows a single pilot to manage the craft effectively.  The inclusion of SPINE into both the military-upgraded [[species:minkan]] and the standard [[species:nekovalkyrja:nekovalkyrja_type_33]] models was not finalized at the time the project was first conceived, but only helps to aid the acceptance of the SPINE-derived thought-based piloting system as the standard.  The V9 Nodachi cockpit can be used in lieu of the Pilot Pod, as an advanced but conventional option.  The software of the Hayabusa V6E uses code based on that in the Kirie and Keiko, and has an option to change the system's function to more closely match that of the V9 Nodachi.  This allows for a larger degree of ease in transitioning between Power Armor and Starfighter roles and a reduction in training time for new soldiers training to use both systems.  It even includes the Army's new protections to ensure that the craft is being accessed by a trusted ally before being used.

 Built into the frame of the Hayabusa V6E is a PT-M1-R3200 [[yamatai:ketsurui_fleet_yards:scalable_graviton_beam_projector]], designed for the purposes of both grabbing onto surfaces and items securely, as well as for towing.  Though they are intended mainly for this use, it is also possible prevent other craft from going to FTL, to throw off an unshielded enemy’s aim by manipulating the gravity in their area, or any number of other useful ways yet to be discovered.  Since some NMX craft can only use their FTL once in a set span of time, effective use of this method may disrupt NMX battle tactics with a bit of luck.  It is also possible to use this system to “cling” to the hull of a friendly craft, effectively permitting the craft to support and carry more Hayabusa V6E than their facilities would normally allow.   Built into the frame of the Hayabusa V6E is a PT-M1-R3200 [[yamatai:ketsurui_fleet_yards:scalable_graviton_beam_projector]], designed for the purposes of both grabbing onto surfaces and items securely, as well as for towing.  Though they are intended mainly for this use, it is also possible prevent other craft from going to FTL, to throw off an unshielded enemy’s aim by manipulating the gravity in their area, or any number of other useful ways yet to be discovered.  Since some NMX craft can only use their FTL once in a set span of time, effective use of this method may disrupt NMX battle tactics with a bit of luck.  It is also possible to use this system to “cling” to the hull of a friendly craft, effectively permitting the craft to support and carry more Hayabusa V6E than their facilities would normally allow.  
  
-The Graviton Beam Projector is powerful enough to tow another Hayabusa or even a [[:stararmy:v8_kawarime]] under full power, though at a predictably reduced acceleration at STL and at FTL.  This makes them able to aid in the recovery of various probes as well.  Depending on the type of engines used and the configuration, care should be taken not to damage the towed craft with the device’s exhaust.  It is often recommended to use the CFS for propulsion in this situation, or to tow the craft from a fair distance.+The Graviton Beam Projector is powerful enough to tow another Hayabusa or even a [[stararmy:small_craft:ke-v8_kawarime]] under full power, though at a predictably reduced acceleration at STL and at FTL.  This makes them able to aid in the recovery of various probes as well.  Depending on the type of engines used and the configuration, care should be taken not to damage the towed craft with the device’s exhaust.  It is often recommended to use the CFS for propulsion in this situation, or to tow the craft from a fair distance.

 The Hayabusa V6E has better weapons capabilities than the base Hayabusa, though many pilots will find its base armament familiar.  The Hayabusa V6E has the same pair of forward-facing Heavy Cannons as its predecessor, and the same six double turrets, though the  turrets have been modified to use the Project Thought Simplified Joint to hasten target acquisition and minimize the impact of recoil on their accuracy between shots. The Hayabusa V6E has better weapons capabilities than the base Hayabusa, though many pilots will find its base armament familiar.  The Hayabusa V6E has the same pair of forward-facing Heavy Cannons as its predecessor, and the same six double turrets, though the  turrets have been modified to use the Project Thought Simplified Joint to hasten target acquisition and minimize the impact of recoil on their accuracy between shots.
  
-What sets the Hayabusa V6E’s armament apart is that its Missile Hardpoints have been expanded into full-blown Ke-V9-W3304 Variable Equipment Mounts derived from the Nodachi which also allow the mounting of hardware.  This includes additional sensory systems, mounted weapons, power systems, or even the [[:stararmy:kuma_t8_multi-role_shuttle:ke-t8-p3102]] for longer range operations and patrols.  Some systems may require the use of more than one hardpoint, or specific hardpoints.+What sets the Hayabusa V6E’s armament apart is that its Missile Hardpoints have been expanded into full-blown Ke-V9-W3304 Variable Equipment Mounts derived from the Nodachi which also allow the mounting of hardware.  This includes additional sensory systems, mounted weapons, power systems, or even the [[stararmy:small_craft:kuma_t8_multi-role_shuttle:ke-t8-p3102]] for longer range operations and patrols.  Some systems may require the use of more than one hardpoint, or specific hardpoints.
