The '''A4A Hurricane''' is a heavy fighter developed by [[StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace]]. The [[StarCitizen:Ships|spacecraft]] offsets its absence of luxuries with formidable weaponry, featuring six [[StarCitizen:Ship Weapons|ballistic guns]] that can penetrate almost any obstacle. Despite its compact design, it delivers a significant strike, and its pilots have not encountered a defensive [[StarCitizen:shield]] they are unable to breach.<ref name="HurricaneStore">{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/pledge/ships/hurricane/Hurricane|text=Hurricane Store}}</ref>

==Features==
{{List item
|Turret
|The vehicle features a powerful manned turret in its center, which can carry up to four Size 3 guns. The gunner can support the pilot with accurate fire as well as other multi-crew features like radar and missile locks, leaving the pilot free to focus on maneuvering the ship.<ref name="HurricaneStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Weapons
|In addition to the manned turret, the ship also has a pair of Size 4 guns beside the cockpit as well as a pair of racks that can hold a pair of Size 2 missiles each.<ref name="HurricaneStore"/>
}}
{{List item
|Tactics
|The Hurricane was designed as a "Zoom and Boom" fighter, unloading its full complement of guns at a target in an attack run before flying away at high speed to reload, recharge, and avoid return fire. It is a close- to mid-range ship, similar to the [[StarCitizen:Gladius]]. It is designed to work with other fighters and support ships rather than for long-range patrols. In groups, the Hurricane favours using alternative waves of attack runs, with counterattacks facing the full crossfire of multiple Hurricanes.<ref name="HurricaneStore"/>

==Lore==
{{Main|Casse Aerospace#Hurricane}}
<tabber>
Origins=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
The Hurricane was originally developed in [[StarCitizen:2607]], during the [[StarCitizen:Second Tevarin War]], by [[StarCitizen:Casse Aerospace]]. It was specifically designed to destroy [[StarCitizen:Tevarin]] ships as quickly as possible the moment their [[StarCitizen:phalanx shield]]s failed. The Casse Hurricane suffered some setbacks during the testing phase. Though pilots liked the power-to-weight ratio and the extra punch its quad-turret offered, the high degree of coordination needed between the pilot and gunner had a very steep learning curve. Because of this, the Hurricane didn't enter active combat until [[StarCitizen:2609]]. While they were used to devastating effect in a few instrumental actions, the war ended shortly after their deployment in [[StarCitizen:2610]]. Although it was effective during the war, it soon fell out of favor and was quickly decommissioned after [[StarCitizen:2615]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref><ref name="jumppoint2" />
|}
|-|
Redevelopment=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
During the second major [[StarCitizen:Vanduul]] [[StarCitizen:Vanduul Skirmishes|incursion]] in [[StarCitizen:2871]], a UEE report showed that the longer a human pilot was engaged in combat with the Vanduul, the less likely they were to survive. In response, the [[StarCitizen:UEE Navy]] requested new concepts for an alpha strike fighter that had enough "focused firepower" to quickly destroy Vanduul fighters. [[StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace]] redeveloped the aging Hurricane design in order to quickly produce a fighter that the Navy needed. The updated design still bore all the hallmarks of [[StarCitizen:Leonard Casse|Casse's]] original, but with the addition of Anvil's proven conflict expertise. The result was a game changer for the war effort, and in 2878 new wings of Hurricane were being deployed by the Navy on the front-lines.<ref name="jumppoint2">[[StarCitizen:Will Weissbaum]], [[StarCitizen:David Ladyman]] and [[StarCitizen:Ben Lesnick]], [https://robertsspaceindustries.com/comm-link/transmission/15787-Jump-Point-Now-Available ''Portfolio: Casse Aerospace''], [[StarCitizen:Jump Point (magazine)|Jump Point]], vol. 5, no. 3, pp. 30-33, 2017-03-18.</ref>

During the [[StarCitizen:The Fall of Caliban]], the Hurricane proved to be very effective in clearing out Vanduul fighter wings, allowing many civilian convoys to evacuate safely from the [[StarCitizen:Caliban system]]. Its success against the Vanduul has made it a key component of both the UEE Navy and Marine fleets.<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref>

Pirate Usage=
{| class="wikitable"
|-
Although the Hurricane was only produced for the UEE Military until 2947, several pirate groups have stolen them since their Anvil redesign. Most prominently, the [[StarCitizen:Argul Dawn]] and the [[StarCitizen:Otoni Syndicate]] have used them very effectively to ambush and disabled cargo convoys. The Argul Dawn was so efficient with their Hurricane wings that the [[StarCitizen:Advocacy]] launched several high-risk raids against the Argul Dawns headquarters at [[StarCitizen:Echo Eleven]].<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=media/86vuj7ajf1bavr/source/Hurricane-Brochure.pdf|text=Hurricane Brochure}}</ref>

Civilian Release=

Even though it is one of the oldest ship designs still flying, Anvil brought it to the civilian market in 2947.

|Originally the Hurricane was an option in the poll for the third starter ship<ref>{{Cite RSI|url=https://robertsspaceindustries.com/en/comm-link/transmission/14295-Letter-From-The-Chairman|text=Letter From The Chairman}}</ref> but it lost to the [[StarCitizen:Reliant]]. The concept was subsequently changed to a heavier fighter that offers dogfighting-focused pilots a ship that relies strongly on firepower at the expense of armor.
