The F/A-14 is a family of 2-engines, variable-sweep wing combat aircraft which were developed by Høiland Aerospace Incorporated for the Armed Forces of the Imperial Republic of Drahen. Having developed into a multirole aircraft, the F/A-14 is capable of undertaking more mission profiles than just the original strike mission; Drahen replaced multiple aircraft types with the F/A-14 as a common type phasing out many dedicated single role aircraft for specialist purposes such as battlefield reconnaissance, maritime patrol duties, or dedicated electronic countermeasures (ECM).
