"Swift and deadly, thats us."

- Captain Hannah 'Screamin' Eagle' Moreadu

The Fighter/Bomber-406 Katana was the main fighter craft of the UNSC, replacing the earlier longsword.The vessel was smaller and carried a similar number of armaments, though substanially smaller cannons. It carried a mixed ordinance of anti ship and anti aircraft missiles. The vehicle carried a pair of unique, cyclic launchers for thier ASVM-13 missiles, where a four barreled 'revolver' launcher carried four rockets and after each fire, would revolve to the next missile, saving room.

Variants
The AF-406 Daito was actually simply a Katana with different weapon gear, affecting its mission goal. It was armed with 16 AGM-76 PINCER Missiles and 8 AGM-64 Missiles.

UNSC Comments
"The 50mm guns make a mess of enemy fighters and enemy tanks. Perfect"

"The Kantna and the Daito are well liked, capable craft. No reason to even dream of replacing them."
