================================================================================================
Overview:
    The Alpha Fighter is Clan Donka's unsuccessful attempt at reintroducing the Land-Air-Mech.
    The original design parameters for the VAF-XD were to produce a swift LAM that was lighter
    than the PHX-XD and able to hold its own against 'mechs its own size. Although the LAM lost
    out on speed, which ironically is identical to other LAMs; the design has proven to be
    effective in hit and run tactics as well as a spotter for Arrow IV equipped unit.

Capabilities:
    As a Veritech fighter, the VAF has a broad mix of accurate weapons. The Alpha fighter has a
    GU-XII gun pod that houses its ER Medium Laser as well as six Mini-missile Rocket Launcher
    10s.
