		Dragon (TL9)

This plane is based on the Wing Commander 4 Black Lance Dragon. I made it as close to the game version as possible. I wanted to build it at TL9, but went up to TL12 in some places. Have Fun!

Kills target by igniting the artificial atmosphere. First, it burns through the outer armor using concentrated Super-hot Plasma, then it superheats the internal atmosphere.
