Zilant-class Bomber
Ship Class: Heavy Starfighter
Ship Role: Bomber
Ship Length: 13.5 meters
Agility (A): 2
Defensive (D): 3
Offensive (O): 4
Speed (S): 3
Special Gear: 0
Weapons:
Maximum Acceleration: 2,900 G
Maximum Atmospheric Speed: 1,150 KM/H
MGLT: 95
Hyperdrive Rating: Class 1.5
Back-up Hyperdrive: Class 12
Crew: 1 Pilot, 1 Bombardier
Description:
With the progression of the Mythic line slipping into the realm of starfighters, it was common sense that the lineup needed to be rounded out with a fighter for each style. And so began the work in crafting a bomber that blended well within the curvy and smooth aesthetic of the ship line. Electing the wider, triangular setup, the Zilant took the shape of a rounded arrowhead.
Much work went further into deciding the type of bomber that would be created. From the heavily armor and armed, albiet slower variation or something faster with less punch or defense. Twin engines work to give the craft moderate speed, a slight dip in defensive capabilities attributing to it though it still wasn't the most maneuverable. By dropping its armor to help with its speed, the designers didn't have to focus as hard on dropping its armament. Mixing the ideas of an assault ship and bomber, the Zilant carried two laser cannons, four proton torpedo launchers spread down its wings, and bomb chutes that were capable of folding up into the ship to keep it streamlined in normal flight that would tilt down and ready to unleash its payload. Due to its nature, it worked best with a pilot and a bombardier.
