A powerful strike craft of the Abwehran Armed Forces (AAF).
With need for a strike craft that could bomb facilities and take out warships, the Kondor Jagbomber was born. Grouped by squadrons and normally escorted by fighters, the Kondor was a formidable craft during the Pirate War.
The Kondor is the only strike craft to carry a single-barreled 80mm Laser Cannon as built-in weaponry.
The Kondor Bomber is used to destroy capital ships and planetary facilities.
Not only wanting but demanding a bomber for their fighter forces, F+E was thrown into yet another project of creating a workable design. What was to come was the Kondor - class Jagdbomber, a fast and heavily armed strikecraft the the Abwehran Military was craving.
It proved its worth during the Pirate War, accounting for 75% of all kills. This vessel, along with the Raubvogel, has created a fandom and idolization of fight pilots in many of the Abwehran's youth.

A tandem cockpit that is quite cramped, there are controls in a stacked formation for both pilot and REO (Radar/Electronics Operator) to allow them to utilize either a four-arm or two-arm control scheme.
Located behind the REO's postion, this small storage compartment contains emergency supplies and space for personal gear if transferring to another base. But this space is normally reserved for precious items since space is limited.
The Kondor is built using the Tri-Layer Armor in combination with standard military hull and framework.
Two pylons attached to the ventral side of the Kondor allow the bomber to fit a variety of heavy weapons to give it more flexibility.
A powerful and robust computer system using the standard military processors connected via molecular circuits to connect to the various Data Storage and Displays on board.
The Kondor utilizes Unidirectional Gravity Plating to create an inertial dampening effect on board and a standard recycling and filtration system for matters involving air purification.
The Kondor is equipped with two fusion engines with four ramjet engines attached above and below each fusion engine.
The only shield available on the Kondor is the Hazard Shield.
The only mention of a single-barreled 80mm laser cannon in the Abwehran Military, it is attached to the ventral side of the craft facing forward.
Two units built-in to the prow on each side of the cockpit, these are defensive weapons against other strike craft.
A single unit is placed upon the dorsal-rear section right behind the cockpit
A single tube per hardpoint can be fit onto the Kondor.
A rack carrying three bombs can be fitted to each hard point. These bombs are guided via laser sight.
