Technically put out on the market as a "civil defense fighter," most civil defense units laugh and say that the only way the Jack Jumper has helped civil defense is by giving them lots of target practice. The first known "kit" fighter in mainstream production, a well-trained mechanic can break a Jack Jumper out of its packing crate, assemble it and add a load of Helium-3 to its fusion drive, and have it spaceworthy in less than 30 minutes. This, combined with its excellent modability, good handling and affordable price, have made the Jack Jumper the star fighter of choice for pirates, bandits and mercenaries. Armed with four light pulse lasers, six short-range missiles, and a pair of medium ranged missiles, the fighter gets its unique name from a vicious poisonous ant that somehow followed mankind into deep space.
