The Veritech Alpha Fighter was Earth's premier third-generation transformable fighter, serving the REF through its mission in deep space and the reclamation missions to Earth. The fighter was fully space-capable, and was carried in great numbers on the Ikazuchi class cruiser. Seen during the Third Robotech War, the -I variant, usually painted green, was most noticeably distinguished from the commander's model by a single thin stabilizer fin on the head.
