The Republic of Texas Space Force transformed itself after the introduction of gravtech. New craft had longer range and flight duration, allowing them to easily and quickly travel anywhere inside a star system without requiring a transport. They could defend entire star systems, and they quickly built three craft to do so. The F-2 Star Fury, more of a refit of their existing F-101 Fury, was the first. The purpose-built A-2 Savage and the B-3 Tornado came next, and those three craft worked well together. Their combined mix of lasers, missiles, and autocannons proved devastating to both space and ground targets, and the dedicated hard points for external heavy weapons made them a threat to any enemy warship as well. The three craft dominated the Texas military around Earth and all of her colonies in the first half of the 23rd century, and were in fact still in service in many reserve units when The War came upon us all.
