The '''Q-107 Swift''' is a single-engine multirole fighter jet designed during the [[Auroran Imperial War]] by the Aerial Warfare Division of Axdel. Originally built to serve primarily as an air superiority fighter, the Q-103 evolved over subsequent variants into a capable multirole aircraft. The aircraft was produced in large numbers, and post-War it was exported to several countries as was the heavily modified Q-103S and its modernised Q-103SE variant, of which both versions remain in service in the present in many countries. In Axdelian service the Q-103SE will be replaced with [[Q-107 Grackle|Q-107A Grackle]] stealth fighters by 2026
