Overview
Fenrir is a special large-sized VTOL attack plane. No specs can be found on this Super Aircraft. The only information available can be found during combat. The Fenrir was developed with the same Digital Optical Stealth (DOS) Technology the Gleipnir had used. Along with this DOS the fighter's overall design was extremely advanced for it's time. The Fenrir's flight surfaces are extremely flat; meaning the it has no vertical control surfaces (such as the "Tails") It's two main engines have Thrust Vectoring Technology (TVC). The Fenrir also has a small third engine between the two main engines. It's purpose is to simply add more thrust to the Fenrir's overall thrust to weight ratio and to help Fenrir achieve ultra-slow speed without stalling, by thrusting downwards (as seen in F-35)

This aircraft is a natural dogfighter.

Also, to add to it's lethality, it was equipped to launch miniature versions of the SWBM.

History
The Fenrir, under development ever since the start of the Leasath-Aurelia War, was the entire reason Leasath invaded Aurelia. Its funding was massive, and Leasath invaded Aurelia in order to gain the funds to finance the project through arms sales. A highly advanced fighter, the Fenrir employed most of the technologies from the Gleipnir, mainly its Optical Stealth and ability to launch SWBMs. When Griswall was liberated by Gryphus 1 and Aurelian forces, Leasath commander Diego Gaspar Navarro fled to Sentry Island, an island in Leasath territory and the location of Archelon Fortress. The fortress was the location of the production facility of Fenrir. By this time, Fenrir was complete, but had yet to be exported. Only about 15 working models were produced by that time. Not wasting any time, Aurelian forces assaulted the area. Depending on the players actions, the Fenrir was mounted with an HPM (High Purpose Microwave), a weapon resembling a purple orb which tracked the target and ignited its fuel tank. Its weakness was that it couldn't ignite the fuel of aircraft traveling over 700 mph. Otherwise, Alect Squadron managed to evade Gryphus Squadron, and got behind the controls of Fenrir. Their skill and the Fenrirs capabilities were a massive challenge, but eventually were bested by the skill of Gryphus 1. All working models were destroyed, except for 1, in the possession of Aurelian forces.
