The H-8 Global Defender is a hybrid aerospace fighter developed for the Earth Space Defense.
Design
The Global Defender is equipped with twin hybrid anti-gravity fusion drives that allows it to have rapid acceleration in space and VTOL movement. The Global Defender is armed with two underwing rapid-fire blaster cannons similar to the Attacker. Moreover, the fighter have an integrated built-in life support system which allows a pilot to breathe without the use of an oxygen mask.
The Global Defender was originally equipped with deflector shields that was scrapped from the final design due to the shields drains energy from the fusion drive and creating more drag during atmospheric flight.[1]
History
