Chosen-class Bomber Mark M

The Chosen-class bomber is the counterpart to the Linean Chosen-class Fighter. It was designed after the fact once it had been determined that a fighter with the capabilities of a bomber would be needed to defend Linea. Many of the same design elements of the Chosen fighter are used in the bomber, making it fast and deadly for its size, but also very expensive.

It sports small, 10mm, gauss cannons that are meant as a deterrent to force starfighters to keep away from it. However, the usual strategy in protecting these bombers will have them escorted by at least one Chosen fighter.

Where the true power of the bomber lies is in its bomb payload. It is capable of carrying three powerful 6-kiloton missiles at once, making it a bane of capital ships everywhere. Like the powerful nukes aboard the Deliverance-class Battlecruiser, the heavy payload of the Chosen bomber are in place to give the fighter a big enough bite that other nations will think twice about attacking Linea.

So far the bombers have seen little action, but the Linshi Monks keep them in fighting condition should the need ever arise.
