The Shinta Systems F-212 Firehawk is the mainstay fighter of the Terran Imperial Union. Fast in speed and agility with a trade-off on its armour, the Firehawk is more than a match for any known current Dakota fighters.

Each Terran Naval Carrier houses at least one to two squadrons of Firehawks and they have proven themselves time and again in skirmishes and in all out combat with the Dakota and Pirates.
