Tipping the scales at a massive 100 tons, it has served as a transport, escort, and [[DropShip]] cover, and in any role it serves it is an aging, but fierce, foe to face. The ''Kirghiz'' has seen continued improvement over the years, primarily in weapons, but also with the addition of an [[XL engine]]. Unlike many other fighters, it uses [[standard armor]], giving more critical space for a wide selection of weapons.<ref name=TRO3055U198-199/><ref name=TRO3055-166-167>''Technical Readout: 3055'', pp. 166-167, "Kirghiz OmniFighter Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3055R-150-151>''Technical Readout: 3055 Revised'', pp. 150-151, "Kirghiz OmniFighter Profile"</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== The Prime variant can bring a wicked arsenal to bear on its foes to the front. Two sidecars are loaded with a [[Gauss rifle]] and an [[ER large laser]] while an [[LB-X Autocannon/10]] is mounted on the nose, forming the final element of this deadly fighter. An enemy who manages to get on the tail will find a deadly surprise: two [[Streak SRM-6]]s and an [[ER small laser]].<ref name=TRO3055U198-199/><ref name=TRO3055-166-167/><ref name=TRO3055R-150-151/> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : The A configuration is a long range killer, mounting an extensive weapons suite to slaughter anything in front of it. The nose sports two [[ER PPC]]s, which while deadly, utilize a full three-fourths of the fighter's [[double heat sinks]]. In addition, each wing carries an [[LB 2-X AC]] autocannon and two [[large pulse laser]]s while a rear firing turret carries an [[ER large laser]] and an [[ER small laser]]. Chain fire is necessary, or the fighter runs the very real risk of exploding. BV (1.0) = 2,946<ref name=CO109/><ref name=TRO3055U198-199/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 175</ref>, BV (2.0) = 3,368<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 367</ref> *; Alternate Configuration B : The B configuration is unpopular with pilots, due to the limited ammunition for the five [[LRM-20]] racks. Even three forward facing [[ER PPC]]s will not keep the fighter in the fight long. Its foes, however, may not be around to face them. BV (1.0) = 3,480<ref name=CO109/><ref name=TRO3055U198-199/><ref>''AeroTech 2 Record Sheets'', p. 176</ref>, BV (2.0) = 3,935<ref name=MUL181/><ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 368</ref> *; Alternate Configuration C : This configuration is an uncommon design, intended as an [[Elemental]] carrier. A [[UAC/20]] is by far the deadliest part of its arsenal, but the two tons of munitions limit its duration in combat. However, it is backed by two [[ER PPC]]s and one [[ER small laser]], with pursuit discouraged by two [[ER large lasers]] after it has deposited the troops from its 10 tons of cargo space.

The aft of the fighter is protected by an [[ER small laser]], and each wing carries a pair of [[ATM-12]] launchers that share a [[CASE]]-protected ammunition bay carrying 12 tons of ammunition. 25 [[double heat sink]]s keep the ''Kirghiz'' D in the fight. BV (2.0) = 3,649<ref>''Record Sheets: 3055 Upgrades Unabridged'', p. 371</ref> *; Alternate Configuration E : This configuration provides some limited electronic warfare support, as it's equipped with an [[active probe]] and [[ECM suite]].
