XF-AX8 “Dagger”

XF-AX9 “Dagger”

Experimental Hypersonic Star Interceptor

Overview:
The Dagger is a next-generation, hypersonic-capable star interceptor designed for high-atmosphere and near-space operations under Droo’s Space Regiment. Built for rapid interception, overwhelming firepower, and shock-and-awe strikes, the Dagger is engineered to outpace, outgun, and outmaneuver anything in its path.

Airframe & Aerodynamics:
• Sleek, stealth-enhanced profile with canted aft wings, integrated RAM (Radar-Absorbent Material), and blended canards
• Forward-swept design hints at extreme agility and fluid control at both subsonic and hypersonic velocities
• Optimized for minimal drag and maximum thermal resistance during sustained Mach 10+ flight

Propulsion:
• Dual ion fusion engines for main drive
• Top speed: Estimated Mach 10+ at sea level
• Capable of sustained hypersonic cruise
• Reverse-mounted twin engines for rapid deceleration
• Cuts speed from hypersonic to subsonic in under 10 seconds
• Enables safe ejection protocols even at extreme velocities

Primary Armament – BFG (DOOM reference):
• 260mm forward-facing ultra-high-energy cannon housed internally in fuselage
• Massive directed-energy or magnetically-accelerated kinetic output
• WARNING: Capable of blowing a hole through the center of Mars. Use with extreme caution.
• Mounted flush with the airframe for stealth until activation
• Pure intimidation even when inactive — symbolic power projection at its finest

Cockpit & Control Systems:
• Fully custom-built cockpit crafted by the pilot
• Includes immersive HUD, activation groups, and integrated ejection controls
• Working ejection seat system, only operable after deceleration to subsonic speeds
• Advanced energy management, BFG control panels, and flight diagnostics

Role & Capabilities:
• Classified as a Heavy Hypersonic Interceptor
• Planetary defense, anti-orbital interception, and deep-strike missions
• Theoretical range allows partial planetary circumnavigation on internal fuel
• Designed to outrun missiles, intercept drones, and assert dominance over contested airspace or low orbit

Guns r for show only they do not work sadly
