History
The Ninja class of fighters were the earliest attempts at making attack aerospace craft. While the design was initially intended to be launchable from scattered airfields across Initiative colonies, efforts were taken to adapt the fighters to allow them to be launchable using specialized sections of the magnetic rail lines used by Initiative transit networks. When the first Guardian-class carriers were designed, all efforts were put into making the Ninja class universally adaptable for carrier use as well, including altering the launch bays of the Guardian-class carriers to allow them to use electromagnetic rails to launch the fighters, utilizing the same systems as the transit network for this.
