At the same time, considering that when dealing with the impact of chaos phantoms, the most appropriate way is to destroy them in the outer reaches of the star system, and to compete with them, it is necessary to build flexible fighters suitable for space combat and able to greatly resist chaos erosion.

In order to realize such an interstellar combat aircraft, high-end workshops, institutions, and research forces in universities from various countries were called together to jointly discuss plans.

In addition, the development of annihilation weapons against Chaos Phantoms has also been put on the agenda. Plans are being continuously collected from the government and the public, and resources are being invested heavily in testing.

When a battle is confirmed, the Chaos Phantom will dodge in the starry sky in an extremely irregular and high-speed manner. The United Government decides to use high-speed and flexible space fighters as the main weapon to deal with the war, and equip them with the Aijiaka Immersion System to enable the pilot and the body to quickly amplify magic power and recover quickly.

After the main goals are proposed, more detailed requirements on armament, endurance, combat, defense, etc. are listed according to actual needs.

After the goal was proposed, teams composed of personnel from all parties began their own ideas and practices, and built an initial six prototypes of "nw-0" within two years.

The code name nw means new world, and 0 means the initial prototype.

After the initial test flights of the six prototypes, the 0D and 0F models performed the best and were approved, and the other four models were eliminated. Then the 'NW-A' series started with the 'NW-0D' as the template, and the 'NW-B' series started with the 'NW-0F' template.

The difference between the 'nw-a' series and the 'nw-b' series is that the 'nw-a' series uses angel sequence molecular alloy armor, and the patterned circuits on the surface can greatly isolate the impact of chaotic phantoms, thereby lasting for a longer period of time, while the 'nw-b' series uses demon sequence amplified wings, which can enable the fighter to obtain more efficient annihilation attack capabilities, and the speed is faster, even nearly twice that of the 'nw-a' type.

After about 7 months of preparation and continuous testing, eight 'nw-a' and five 'nw-b' were produced. Loran Hill then sent these thirteen space fighters into the outer layer of the star system to fight against scattered chaos phantoms and collect data.

Although the 'nw-b' type achieved better combat results, its pilots suffered from serious sequelae after the battle, which caused the 'nw-b' series to be temporarily shelved, while the 'nw-a' type received a large amount of resource investment.

In June of the following year, a new batch of 'NW-A1' models was completed, totaling twelve aircraft. They were 15.3 meters long, with a maximum wingspan of 14.7 meters, a height of 4.2 meters, and an empty weight of 12.6 tons. The wings could be moved forward and backward with a maximum adjustment angle of 50°.

The engine is a twin-engine Carlitus Thalia LL-1760 magic thermal engine with a single-engine thrust of approximately 10.5 tons. It operates in a thermal turbofan mode below Mach 2.6, in a high-speed ramjet mode between Mach 2.6 and Mach 6, and in an overload limit ramjet mode above Mach 6.

The fuselage has a built-in gravity control system and a variable binary vector nozzle at the rear. Because the nozzle material has extremely stringent requirements on heat resistance and structural toughness, a defensive pattern circuit is laid at the nozzle to enhance the material strength.

The fighter's head is equipped with the 'Aurora' radar from the Ice Palace (Ice Elf Workshop), an IFF friend-or-foe identification system, a TACS infrared thermal imager, an optical sensor, and the 'Anthem' chaos identification device provided by the Sanctuary Twelve Palaces.

In combat mode, the Angel Sequence's Holy Defense Array can wrap the cockpit and lay an energy-isolating layer on the surface of the fuselage, minimizing the corrosion and distortion caused by Chaos Phantom.

The cabin is made of transparent metal, and a millimeter-level magic network is laid inside the metal during manufacturing. It can create a defensive barrier by infusing magic, but its strength is lower than that of external armor. Therefore, during fierce battles, the cockpit will be completely immersed in the interior of the fighter, and will only rise when necessary to allow the pilot to gain a higher degree of connection with the external mana, so as to restore his own magic and improve the effectiveness of weapon attacks.

The pilot's combat suit is made of transparent aluminum, with compressed oxygen tanks built into the shoulders and a built-in HUD in the helmet that has a sight guidance and eye sensor system (that is, it automatically locks on to the target based on the focus of the pupil).

The tail of the fighter is a hexagonal nozzle, equipped with a five-piece fan blade component from Yanxing Workshop, which can control the jet flow and adjust the direction to achieve flexible directional change. In addition, the tail wing is equipped with a movable guide vane.

The lower part of the fuselage is equipped with two 'White Crow' class annihilation energy cannons and a laser aiming device. When necessary, the wings can stimulate sharp magic patterns to achieve the effect of cutting through the enemy and escaping from the siege of a large number of chaotic phantoms.

After the 'nw-a1' was manufactured, five actual combat simulations were carried out. After collecting data and information, improvements were made successively. Finally, a stable mass production plan was completed at the end of the year, and it was determined to be 'nw-holy' and obtained its official name.

In June of the year 1762 of the Third Era, the shining wings of light circled the Earth, and countless people cheered and celebrated.
