H-60 Tempest Bomber

The H-60 Tempest bomber was a flying wing-designed bomber that may have been an ancestor of the B-wing starfighter.

Characteristics


The Tempest resembled a larger version of the later B-wing starfighter, but lacked its folding wings. There was also a different engine configuration than that of the B-wing, and other design variations, including a cockpit on each end which were detachable for maintenance and repairs.

The Spiral-class assault ship shared many design-characteristics with the bomber, appearing to be almost the same design apart from being bigger and flying backwards.

History
The H-60 was developed during the last decades of the Galactic Republic, possibly by Slayn & Korpil, and was later used by the Rebel Alliance, with some ships from Ord Bueri kept in reserve at their main base on Yavin IV.
