Stingray Bomber

The Stingray Bomber is designed to work as a supported heavy assault fighter. With no shields or laser weaponry, it will be easily destroyed by more multipurpose or interceptor type fighters. However, its decent maneuverability, high speed (for a bomber), and very thick hull make it an excellent fighter for attacking any class of capital ship. It is especially designed to engage and disable smaller capital ships while in battle. Most often launched after other fighters are already engaged, it will quickly move to an unescorted frigate or corvette and disable it as rapidly as possible. With its large complement of warheads and triple ion cannons, smaller capital class ships won't last long. The lack of hyperdrive and shields allowed for a very resilient hull to be incorporated into the design. Also, hull is strengthened because the entire hull of the ship is a single piece.
