StarCitizen:F7A Hornet Mk I

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

The Hornet is primarily deployed from [[StarCitizen::Category:Fleet carriers|carriers]], and is used for a variety of military combat missions including combat air patrol, interception, ground attack, reconnaissance in force, escort and strike operations. While not outfitted for long range runs, the Hornet can take her share of hits and dish out a consistent, powerful response.<ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref><ref>Template:Cite RSI</ref>

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>Template:Cite RSI</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.
