===Voss Pattern Lightning Strike Fighter===
Also called the '''Primaris Lightning Strike Fighter''', its design dates back to the [[Great Crusade]] where it was created by [[Magos|Archmagos-Arbiter]] [[Sykosk Thule]].{{Fn|4}} Originating from the [[Forge World]] of [[Voss Prime]], the 'Strike' variant of the Lightning is designed for a fighter-bomber role. It is normally equipped with a potent armament of twin-linked [[Lascannon]]s and six [[Hellstrike Missile]]s or [[Rad Missile]]s.{{Fn|3}}
At the time of its introduction, the aircraft represented a new paradigm in aerial warfare for the Imperial, being powered by a forced-plasma ramjet drive and optimized for the most sophisticated munitions available. However the pattern proved extremely costly to produce and could only be handled by the most experienced pilots.{{Fn|4}}
