Description
An F-79H Sigrun of Alliance Navy landing at Federation's Terra Nova's Space Port in 2671GS.

Alliance's Mainstay Strike Fighter F-79H Sigrun (also known as SX-3 Finback in Alliance's number designation)

Export variant of the Terran's F-79G fighter-bomber. The F-79H Sigrun is a downsized model of the F-79G with enhanced maneuverability and longer airframe service life. By adopting reliable FTL drives, vehicle's grade kinetic barrier generator and modern avionics on an already robust airframe, the F-79H met the criteria of a docile, beginner-friendly fighter-bomber with superior performance compared to the older F-76 Thunderbolt. Since the F-79G was too large for most warships to operate, the new F-79 variant featured the downsized wings of the F-79G, while also combined the late-production Sigrdriffa frames used on the Rota and Sigrdriffa Kai model, making it more versatile and cost-effective in the long-run.

At the time of the Batarian War, the F-79H reliable performance was highly appreciated by the Alliance's Navy. since it was based on a highly-dependable and proven airframe. However, even with the Alliance's own factory production airframes, they could not sufficiently counter the Batarian fleet due to a lack of well-trained pilots and high combat loss rates. As a result, the Alliance Navy starts to become more dependent on the Federation's military supports as well as other paramilitary organizations while also concentrating their resources in rebuilding their Fleet after the early disastrous confrontations with the Batarian's mainstay military.
