The '''F7A Hornet Mk I''' was from [[StarCitizen:2806]] through [[StarCitizen:2944]] the [[StarCitizen:UEE Navy|UEE Navy's]] premier space superiority fighter, before being supplanted by its direct successor - the [[StarCitizen:F7A Hornet Mk II]].

|During a promotion for United States Veterans Day, players were able to purchase [[StarCitizen:F7A Military Hornet Upgrade]] (Mk I), sometimes referred to as CCU, for the F7A Hornet Mk I. The upgrade can be applied to a [[StarCitizen:F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I]], which will replace the existing F7C-M Super Hornet Mk I with a F7A Hornet Mk I.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/13366-Veterans-Day-Hornet-Upgrade-Offer|text=Comm-Link: Veterans Day Hornet Upgrade Offer|accessdate=2024-06-04}}</ref>
The original upgrade cost was $20 USD, with 50% of proceeds being given to charity. Operation Supply Drop and Honor Flight Network were the recipients of the charity donation.

==Trivia==
*Despite popular belief that the [[StarCitizen:F7A Hornet Mk II]] has replaced the Mk I in game, Mk I ships have been in game in multiple occasions.<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/starcitizen/comments/119njcd/_/ So... My friend found a Hornet F7A MK1 during a mission in PTU.. (He said it only said F7A when he targeted it)] on Reddit</ref><ref>[https://youtube.com/watch?v=F3uD0t-PgQA How to steal a F7A Hornet] on YouTube</ref>
*The F7A Hornet was originally featured in the Star Citizen Kickstarter trailer.<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RlIWJlz6-Eg] - SQ42 Extended Trailer</ref>
*At first the Hornet was to be a light fighter, but then after designs came back with it being heavily armed and beefy.<ref name="ReferenceA">{{Cite RSI|url=comm-link/transmission/15742-Around-The-Verse|text=Around the Verse - Super Hornet & Multi-Region Servers|trx=around-the-verse}}</ref>
