In the fictional Wing Commander universe, the Terran Confederation started deploying many new fighters for their fleets, including the F-109 Vampire Space Superiority Fighter. The Vampire was Confed's newest and most powerful heavy starfighter in the fleet. It was equipped with Confed's newest technologies and had a massive weapon arsenal for a starfighter. These fighters were used in the later parts of the Wing Commander: Prophecy computer game, starting in the Hrissith System.
It was swift, sleek, and very powerful, which made the fighter the preferred choice in combat. The Vampire mounted a front weapon array that included four Tachyon and two Particle cannons. The missile payload was heavy as well. A single Vampire would be equipped with, but not limited, to eight Friend or Foe missiles, eight Image Recognition missiles, and Confed's newest missile, Tracker MIRV (four). The Tracker MIRV missile fires like a dumbfire missile; however, it splits in to four Friend or Foe missiles after four seconds and aims for its target, making it a deadly weapon in the Vampire's arsenal. Usually assigned to heavy fleet carriers, the Vampire is customised to combat groups of enemy fighters. The Vampire can engage in long-range missile fights with good chances of survival. Its shields have medium strength, but exhibit an excellent recharge rate. The Vampire was indeed Confed's most powerful heavy fighter in the fleet.
