Fiction:Mirage Cascabel

Mirage Cascabel was the name of an omnirole twin-engine hyperspace-capable strike craft developed jointly by the nations of France and Roreinia in the 2770's as part of a mutually beneficial technological exchange. It was released in 2779, though the French lost interest in the craft and never adopted it as part of their military.

A descendant of the Mirage Comète 2, the Cascabel inherited many of its traits. Many facets of the body, cockpit, and internal workings of the craft can be found in both of them. However, the Cascabel differs in many ways. At the insistence of the Roreinians, a straight-wing design was adopted instead of the traditional French delta-wing. Many of the Comète's systems were streamlined and made more affordable, though compromise made them lose in quality.
