Overview:
(Originally posted in 2002:

Designed as a high-speed harassment/interceptor, the BTF-1Y Butterfly proves that beauty can
kill. Designed with a svelte and agile form capable of covering all but the roughest
terrain at high-speed, in an effort to harass enemy lines.
Capabilities:
Utilizing a 280 XL fusion engine, the Butterfly is capable of reaching speeds up to 118.8
kph; furthermore, a penta of jump jets imparts jumps of up to 150 meters.
Equipped with both offensive and defensive armaments of the latest design and technologies.
The primary weapons of Butterfly are pair of left arm mounted medium pulse lasers that
offering accuracy at the high-speeds that the unit maintains during combat; however, these
pulse lasers force some pilots to close far closer to enemy units then they'd like.
Supplemental to the lasers is the epitome of modern missile weaponry via a left torso
mounted 6 tube Streak SRM rack. With the lock-on failsafe offered by Streak systems, the
Butterfly ensures that every reload is utilized to its maximum effectiveness, and allows
pilots to keep maneuvering at their highest capability while engaged in battle without
concern of wasted munitions.
Finally, the Butterfly mounts a pair of right arm mounted machine guns should it need to
engage infantry assets or light armored vehicles.
Reinforcing the offensive package, the Butterfly mounts nearly max armor for its chassis
size; allowing the Butterfly to survive several hits from enemy units before the pilot is
forced to retreats for repairs. Assisting this armor is a left-torso mounted Anti-Missile
System supplied by 1 ton of ammunition.
Overall, all these features in combination create an effective harasser, and it will be
interesting indeed to see if the unit will perform or flop.
