                        '''History & Data '''

The SF-525 Nau Gautam has been the main aerospace fighter of the Fantan-Tyerian Republic for the last four millenia and has changed very little over that time period other than a few cosmetic changes and a slight increase in weapons load-out and is used by the Fantan members of the military.

The Nau-Gautam has an elongated almost fish shaped main hull with the cockpit being located in the forward dorsal with the main gun being located on the aft ventral and running the length of the main hull, on either side of the hull in the nose is two light guns that are mainly used to shoot down missiles and other ordnance [these are controlled by the craft’s onboard AI], in the aft of the craft on the dorsal section is two secondary engines used for maneuvering more than anything else. To either side of the body and to the rear are two almost triangular stubby wings which have two underwing and one over-wing hard point for ordnance and at the ends of these are two large engine nacelles that are very long and slender with large reaction engines to the rear with small wings mounted at a forty-five degree angle to the upper and lower rear of the nacelle originally the nacelles had no armament but in the Mod. 2 and Mod. 3 additional energy weapons were added once the engines are miniaturized.

The SF-525 or the Mod.1 was introduced in 2775 and was armed with a centerline ventral main gun, two nose mounted cannon, and six hard points for ordnance.

The Mod. 2 introduced in 4896 and mounted to the front of the nacelles were two 25 mJ particle beam cannons and fed off the main energizer.
