	Tal's original tool of destruction is a Series CX Scimitar light fighter named <i>Cruel Summer</i>, bought secondhand from a dealer on Planet Los Angeles ~~by Tal shortly after he graduated from boot camp~~. Following his return from Sirius, he has replaced the ~~"lost"~~ Karasu fighter with the more versatile Scimitar.		Tal's original tool of destruction is a Series CX Scimitar light fighter named <i>Cruel Summer</i>, bought secondhand from a dealer on Planet Los Angeles. Following his return from Sirius, he has replaced the written-off Karasu fighter with the more versatile Scimitar.

	It has provisions for five weapons and one cruise disruptor or missile launcher, with eleven hardpoint pylons under the wings and fuselage for mounting external or auxiliary weapons. Like most other Freelancer fighters, it has provisions for a mine dropper and all-aspect countermeasure systems.

	Cruel Summer prior to refit was armed with 4 Garand VI tachyon cannons and 1 CP-L Mark 1 Mod. 0 Advanced Debilitator pulse cannons, with iridium armor struts (Universal, Level VIII) in the cargo bay. The shield array, which remains unchanged, is tougher than most light fighter or even heavy fighter shields, with a Class 10 molecular-type array that repulses projectiles by manipulating magnetic forces.		Cruel Summer prior to refit was armed with 4 Garand VI tachyon cannons and 1 CP-L Mark 1 Mod. 0 Advanced Debilitator pulse cannons, with iridium armor struts (Universal, Level VIII) in the cargo bay. The shield array, which remains unchanged, is tougher than most light fighter or even heavy fighter shields, with a Class 10 molecular-type array that repulses projectiles by manipulating magnetic forces.

	In mid-2384, Cruel Summer was modified to become Solas Tempus R&D's own first ~~High Alpha Research Vessel~~ (~~HARV~~). Given the designation Mark C-X, the ship was given a facelift, receiving a new, larger wing kit, moving nose strakes, prominent leading-edge extensions, and a slight fuselage extension. The original engine was replaced with a smaller, more efficient plasma impulse engine designed for high-performance light shuttles, losing the VTOL system in the process. Onboard living arrangements and most of the cargo bay was replaced with a large ammunition storage compartment, fitted with blowout panels in event of cookoff, and the gimbal-mount hardpoints were replaced with fixed weaponry. Two Type XI [[phaser]] emitters are embedded in the wing roots, while a quartet of experimental Mark 23 high-velocity 25mm cannons (derived from the [[Mark 22 Heavy Machine Gun]]) were mounted behind the nosecone, within the extended fuselage. The original aim of the project was to test modifications for more efficient in-atmosphere performance, increasing the maximum sustained angle-of-attack from 76 degrees to roughly 87 degrees.		In mid-2384, Cruel Summer was modified to become Solas Tempus R&D's own first Low Atmosphere Testbed Vehicle (LATV). Given the designation Mark C-X, the ship was given a facelift, receiving a new, larger wing kit, moving nose strakes, prominent leading-edge extensions, and a slight fuselage extension. The original engine was replaced with a smaller, more efficient plasma impulse engine designed for high-performance light shuttles, losing the VTOL system in the process.

The original aim of the project was to test modifications for more efficient in-atmosphere performance, increasing the maximum sustained angle-of-attack from 76 degrees to roughly 87 degrees.

			Considered a success, Cruel Summer was given a new, novel weapons loadout for testing, relying on heavyweight 25mm depleted-uranium projectiles fired by it's four Mark 23 cannons to bypass enemy shields entirely and hit crucial components. The concept revolved mostly around fast-paced, close-in in-atmosphere combat, where the complex, delicate small craft used by most of Solas Tempus' adversaries could easily be disabled by crippling flight control surfaces, internal power, or engines. Each cannon was capable of an electronically-boosted cyclic rate of fire of 1,500 RPM, and the array is arranged to stagger-fire in pairs to maximize target saturation. The high throw-weight of the cannons, coupled with the high combined rate of fire, were designed to maximize damage in the short engagement windows present in high-altitude dogfights between aerospace fighters.

A pair of Type IX phaser emitters embedded into the wing roots serve as a backup weapon.

	To extend range, a warp-capable jump ring that can attach to the fighter is in the works.		To extend range, a warp-capable jump ring that can attach to the fighter is in the works.
