The Lune'ctre'esss Bomber was designed by the Neshaten to serve multiple-bombing roles and was put into service in EE 002.

About the Lune'ctre'esss

Designed in EE 001, and put into service in EE 002, the Lune'ctre'esss was built to serve as a multi-purpose bombing platform, capable of carrying out a number of different kinds of bombing operations such as high and low altitude and saturation bombings, just to name a few. The Lune'ctre'esss is divided into two separate sections, one being the crew module and the second being the bombing module; the crew module houses the bombers crew while the bombing modules housing the crafts entire payload.

The bomber has two high-powered, medium range, railgun that give it the ability to engage slow moving targets or to serve as a dedicated sniping platform when not actually bombing. The crafts two gravitational engines give it a modest speed and turn radius comparable to that of a heavy assault fighter.

Because of its mission, the Lune'ctre'esss is equiped with heavy armor plating, providing it with increased survivalability during combat.

Features

This lists the bombers features

  • Short to medium range sniping
  • Crew ejection module
  • High bomb capacity
  • Anti-starship cabilities
  • Fast, moderate turn radius
  • Capable of multiple types of bombing

Mission Directives

The following is a list of mission directives.

Saturation Bombing

The Lune'ctre'esss is capable of dropping large payloads of bombs on targets, allowing to cover an area roughly half a mile in radius with bombs, this kind of a bombing method is designed to hit multiple targets in a row and not really intended for precision bombing.

Low Atmospheric Bombing

Although the Lune'ctre'esss is of a decent size, its profile and hull design allows it to execute low-atmospheric bombing; which means it can fly under the sensors of enemies up to one hundred feet off the ground in an effort to attack targets before a counter-response can be executed. This kind of bombing is used by the navy for attacking targets of opportunity or to reduce the number of an attacking enemies force before a main attack is launched.

High Atmospheric, Precision Bombing

High Atmospheric Precision Bombing turns the Lune'ctre'esss into an almost stationary bomber, allowing it to drop precision bombs onto specific targets - such as infrastructure or other station assets, not ideal for moving units unless the bomber is equipped with bombs that have a guidance system. Unfortunately this method of bombing makes the Lune'ctre'esss vulnerable to enemy patrols, since once stationary it'll take time to move.

Anti-Starship Assault

While the bomber always has a small number of anti-starship torpedoes on-board, this particular directive actually means that its entire bombing load is replaced strictly with torpedoes, this changes the bomber from being primarily a ground based assault weapon into one used against starships.
