An AU counterpart to the Mass Effect's SX-3 Interceptor if it was designed by the Terran Federation instead.

The lightweight interceptor/fighter contender to the heavy Trident strike fighter, F-79 Sigrdrifa

Codex: F-79A Sigrdrifa/F-79E Rota/SX-3 Finback High Speed Interceptor/Fighter

The first fighter designed for the Universal Fighter Craft program, the F-79 is the first space fighter in the Federation Fleet capable of FTL cruise (albeit its a short ranged one). Although it was designed as an interceptor, the type also is successful as an air superiority fighter. Despite its old-fashioned design, the F-79 impressive performance in high climb rate, maneuverability, making it a formidable adversary to the better armored Batarian fighters.

The Sigrdrifa is often regarded as a much more rugged combat aircraft than the Trident, combined with its docile flight characteristics compared to the high-powered Trident proved to be its major advantage as the Sigdrifa is the most modern fighter available for the Fleet at the closing stage of 1st Batarian War while the latter were delayed in service due to engine problem.

Due to its simple control, ruggedness and weapons, the type also widely exported for foreign nations, with domesitcally produced variants seen in service with less developed nations such as the Terran Republic’s F-79E Rota and the Systems Alliance’s SX-3 Finback point defense intercetor.However, the F-79 short operation range and low payloads limited its effectiveness as a fighter-bomber.
