[+] Hornet's sting: The hornet missiles and Javelin torpedoes are devastating weapons when they hit, which means that the ship has great damage dealing potential.

[+] Coming through: This ship is designed to get past enemy fighter screens and point defense using high speed (for a bomber, of course)

[+] But wait, there's more!: The ship's extended torpedo magazines allow it to stay in the action for a lot longer than one might expect.

[-] Not really a swarm...: These ships are big, and as such their squadron size has been reduced to make them fit in a hangar.

[-] Stubborn: The ship is fast, but not agile. You won't be pulling Segnor's Loops with this.

The Eternal Empire was searching for a ship to fit the role of an anti capital ship starfighter for quite a while. They searched hard, they searched well, and eventually they found an answer. A ship that was fast, hard hitting and durable, a ship that could hold it's own and prove it's worth on the battlefield. That ship was the RX-4 Hornet.

A fine addition to any fleet, this starfighter was designed to punch holes in enemy warships, no matter the size. It's weapons array, consisting of Javelin Torpedoes and Stinger Missiles, allows it to damage critical components of starships. It's powerful thrusters provide getaway options. This starfighter definitely operates well as a hit and run bomber.

The ship is also designed to do well in drawn out battles, as it can hold an additional 4 torpedoes in both it's torpedo magazines. This allows it to deal a lot more damage than a normal bomber should before requiring a resupply, which is also easily doable on any carrier.

All in all, a powerful strike bomber in every respect, this ship is a great answer to the Eternal Empire's lack of strike craft, making sure that that problem stays an issue of the past.
