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" /> | The Hurricane was originally developed in [[StarCitizen:2607]], during the [[StarCitizen:Second Tevarin War]], by [[StarCitizen:Casse Aerospace]].

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 A4A Hurricane is a heavy fighter developed by StarCitizen:Anvil Aerospace. The spacecraft offsets its absence of luxuries with formidable weaponry, featuring six 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">Script error: No such module "Cite RSI".</ref>
