Razorshark Strike Fighter

The Razorshark Strike Fighter is a nimble aircraft born of the same Air Caste lineage as the fearsome Barracuda, scaled to accompany the T'au Empire's ground cadres as close air support. Sleek and swept-winged, it slips through contested skies with the ease of a creature born to them, for no race in the galaxy matches the T'au in the science of flight.

Its primary weapon is a turret-mounted quad ion turret, able to strafe massed infantry or, when its pilot overcharges the coils, punch a searing bolt through the hull of a tank. A secondary burst cannon and a pair of drones round out its armament, letting the fighter tailor its attack run to whatever prey the cadre's markerlights have illuminated below.

Razorsharks embody the T'au ideal of the swift, decisive strike. They do not linger to duel, but scream in low and fast, deliver a single withering pass, and climb away before the enemy's flak can find them. Coordinated with the ground advance, a flight of Razorsharks can crack open a defensive line in the instant before the Fire Warriors surge forward to claim it.
