Description
The Polaris didn't only get a new port with her new mission: she also got a new shuttlecraft. The new fighter, called Sonora II, was the First Fleet's present to the Polaris crew. She is a prototype, incorporating TMP-era technology and design style. Reports and experiences on the original fightercraft were assessed by her design team to build the new version. The prototype is somewhet bigger than her predecessor, with fold-out wings and landing gear. If the old Sonora was the F-14 Tomcat, this beast is the F-22 Raptor.

And yes, ladies and gentlemen, I animated both the wings and the landing gear. They look awesome
