Strike Fighter (Coalition)

The Strike Fighter is an aircraft unit featured in Homeworld: Deserts of Kharak. It is a well-rounded air support unit.

Summary
Coalition units are designed to be as generally effective as possible, and the Hammer is no exception. Its payload of four missiles give it good striking power against air and ground units, and its speed allows it to get in, attack, and retreat before the enemy knows what hit them. This makes them well suited for rooting out entrenched enemy railgun groups or advancing light vehicles, as well as dealing with incoming bombers.

Like all aircraft, the Hammer is vulnerable to dedicated anti-aircraft defenses and counterattacks by Interceptors. The Carrier can support four of these units, and they must return to rearm after exhausting their payload.
