Intent: To make a fast, surgical bomber that doesn't need to be able to hammer half a city to be successful.
Development Thread: None
Manufacturer: Ri'ess Regal Drives
Model: Aurum II-Class Light Bomber
Affiliation: The Confederacy of Independent States
Modularity: None
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Alusteel Frame, Titanium-Desh Alloy Chassis
Description: Until the Aurum Two, Ri'ess Regal had never made a dedicated bomber craft before thanks to the astounding multi-functional success of the Solace which have since been recalled and privatized because of their renown. The Aurum continues the legacy of RRDI's masterful aeronautic and astronautical capabilities. It's sleek spaceframe, powerful engines and comprehensive layout make it an ideal support choice for major contract holders.
The Aurum is armed with two build-in wingtip ion cannons which are primarily designed to punch through shielded targets on the ground, though they are capable of being used as a defensive anti-air weapon if need be. Inside the heart of the frame lie two medium broadcap-warhead missile bays which are together capable of unloading eight heads of bunker-busting power to a target quick and effectively. It's FLIR capabilities can trace minuet heat and ion signatures at a distance and help improve the overall accuracy of the missiles slightly. While it doesn't hold nearly the same overall firepower that a typical fully-loaded bomber does, it makes up for it with surgical precision and high speed.
