The Republic of Texas Space Force introduced a new generation of gravtech combat craft in the middle of the 23rd century. The Super Tornado and Super Savage were billed as simple upgrades of the older Tornados and Savages for the bean counters, but used entirely new technologies and production techniques to make them lighter and far more maneuverable. The F-6 Mustang completed their new triumvirate of space combat dominance with more firepower and maneuverability than any other Terran fighter on Earth and beyond. The Mustang would lose the competition for federal service to the F-7 Hellcat, but Texas partisans always maintained that the Mustang was the superior space fighter. Texas deployed them as their primary combat craft of the Pre-War era, and they served throughout The War with great distinction.
