- Faction-Specific: Designed with the operational requirements of the Rimward Rescue Service in mind, the F-600R variant has been equipped with long range anti-piracy, deep space, and interstellar patrol capabilities in mind. Including but not limited to it being upgraded with Block 2 Nakaioma Fleet Systems avionics, improved ion engines, streamlined fuel consumption and smaller twin laser cannons, to take up less physical space and lessen starfighter weight.
- Fast & Agile: Sacrificing some of its heavier weaponry and on-board protection in exchange for greatly improved speed and manoeuvrability, the F-600R is an incredibly impressive fighter in these regards, capable of outmanoeuvring most of its counterparts with even the most incompetent pilot in its cockpit. Overall weighing less than other Kalidor variants, the F-600R also includes a Rimward Trade League specific mid-life update to maximise aerodynamic performance.
- Beware of Dragons: The notable downside to the F-600R's increased speed and manoeuvrability is its lack of offensive and defensive capacity in its baseline configuration. Though still capable of being modified in the event that heavier weapons, or increased protection is needed, this will undoubtedly lead to a widespread decline in performance for the starfighter, which has largely been designed with pirates, terrorists, mercenaries and other spaceborne criminal elements in mind, as opposed to capital ships and star destroyers.
The Osato Aerospace F-600R Kalidor Strike Fighter is an export variant of the F-600 Kalidor series of multirole, twin ion engine, trans-atmospheric starfighters developed jointly between Osato Aerospace and Nakaioma Fleet Systems, intended for the Rimward Rescue Service, the armed services branch of the Rimward Trade League. The manufacturers were contracted to reconfigure their original model to bolster its long-range combat capabilities, maximum deep-space and in-atmosphere operational range, and to overall strengthen its aerodynamic performance and top speed. These requirements were necessitated by the Rimward Rescue Service's unique role in opposition to less-firepower heavy groups such as pirates, smugglers, terrorists and other such criminal entities. Given that it was largely a task of rearranging weapons systems, and a streamlining of its physical components for improved performance, the development life cycle of the F-600R was relatively short, lasting only several months.
Equipped with much of the same avionics as its baseline model, the F-600R differs from its parent in that it has been upgraded with Block 2 avionics from Nakaioma Fleet Systems, including more sophisticated landing, guidance and communication systems. It likewise features Ps29 ion thruster drives, and Pw192 manoeuvring thrusters, lighter and more powerful-- though more expensive-- engines intended to make it a more efficient patrol and interception starfighter, making it particularly lethal towards previously-mentioned criminal elements and any other illegal space, or even ground traffic. While less well-protected, and armed than the fighter it was designed from, the F-600R does maintain the physical hardpoints on its frame to be equipped with heavier-duty firepower in the event it is required, although it has been cautioned by Osato Aerospace that doing so will negatively impact the fighter's other fields of performance. In short, the F-600R retains many of the Kalidor's technological and quality of life positives, while now being well-suited for the tasks demanded of it by its exclusive operators.
