Following the successful deployment of the Federation's Peregrine attack fighters, and the usage of the Klingon K'Pac and Cardassian Hideki; The Romulan Empire's designers decided that it was time a Romulan contemporary was to be designed. The specifications called for a medium fighter that either paralleled or beat all the federation equivalent. And this is what they produced. The A'Saevha class fighter beats the federation equivalent vessel in almost every field, apart from combat maneuverability (due mostly to the larger dimensions). Her armament of disruptors is more than capable of dealing with hostile foes of equivalent size, and the torpedoes provide a slight increase of firepower, although the federation equivalent has superior torpedo technology and power, a trend that has been constant throughout history. These fighters are small enough and in-complex enough to be constructed in small shuttle production facilities, meaning a quick and effective solution to defense issues can be made with limited resources. This vessel is expected to be churned out at at least 500 per year, and that is with a relatively conservative estimate.
