The Fire Newt is the minimum fighter I could come up with at TL9. Its Model 1 computer acts as Model 0 in combat of course. It is the "little brother" of the Salamander class at only 6.6 tons and less than MCr10 in quantity.

COMMENTS
The Fire Newt class missile fighters are a very compact TL9 design for
local defence use.  They have 6G performance with agility of 6.
Individual fighters are given only tail numbers officially, though many
pilots choose pet names for their craft.  Power Plant 10 is the minimum
for 1 EP in this size hull.  Because this design doesn't have a bridge,
the computer works in combat as a Model 0.
