Primed and Ready

I took 's advice to heart and shaded and lightened parts of the Motherbird as well as take away a few of the guns and remoddel the gigantic railgun at its bottom. The description of the Martian Motherbird, (The giant ship), is in my last submission over to the left over there ->

The Martian Mosquito:
This fighter craft is piloted by two expert pilots usually recruited from the Home Sol region, meaning they are pure blood martians and usually the sons of noble families. Their pride is often well placed though, as after the the AI rebellion of 2350, their skill is as close as it is possible to machine efficency without relying on untrustworthy Artificial Intelligence.

The craft itself is notparticularly remarkable other then it has a small Railgun mounted in its nose in case it is attacking heavier craft. Literally 'Stinging' its prey like a wasp. This has led to a minor controversy amongst the soldiers involved in boarding operations who are typically of Earth descent and do not understand the logic in calling it a Mosquito, given the action of a mosquito requires landing on its prey. This is easily understood when you consider that the insects that have developed on Mars since its terraformation have been named quite differently then they have on earth. With wasp-like insects on mars being given the name Mosquitos while those insects typically more mosquito-like, were labelled wasps.

It is not considered an honour to become a Mosquito pilot in Noble families, in fact, the Sol Nobility often send unwanted male members of their families to such training specifically to either get rid of them, or if the family is particularly martial in its lineage, (common with those families involved in the Fleets), to prove themselves worthy of promotion to higher rankings on starships.
