- Raining Blood: The Starlion's primary function is as a heavy bomber for Rebellion Forces. Capable of carrying a wide load of ordinance, and up to 50 at a time, a Starlion Squadron is capable of reducing nearly any viable structure to rubble should it hit it's mark unimpeded.
- Speed Bomber: To combat enemy interceptors, the Starlion was designed with a dual engine system, allowing it to not only be highly maneuverable for a craft it's size, but hyper-sonic even inside of heavy atmospheres.
- In and Out: The Starlion's unique feature is it's hyperdrive, normally reserved for heavy freighters, the drive allows it to act independent to the rest of the navy, and as designed, jump directly into an enemy atmosphere on it's way towards it's target. This allows it to bypass most planetary patrols, allowing it to hit the target, then disappear into the night.
- Flying Fortress: The Starlion, as a precaution, is loaded to the nines on defensive measures. Capable of fighting off even high end fighters with it's cannons and missile pod, it's no easy target to kill with it's heavy redundant shields and heavy plating.
- On Your Own: The Starlion's biggest downside is also the Wild Space Rebellions biggest downside. While a powerful ship, Si Tech is only capable of producing them in small numbers. As such, it's small squadron count often leads to the ship becoming outnumbered should it stick around too long.
- Slow Entry: As with any bomber, with a full load, the Starlion's engines have to compensate for it's extra weight. While the Starlion is designed to drop it's bombs quickly, catching it off guard could lead to an early bomb release to get away.
The Wild Space Rebellion's mixture of in-house production and rebel tactics led to a strange breakthrough that the original Rebel Alliance would never have been capable of. The Starlion, a bomber designed for bombing raids against targets that would normally be impossible to destroy with traditional Y-wings or Close Air Support fighters.
Designed with a massive bomb load, but still be hyper-mobile, the Starlion is a delicate balance between speed and destructive power. As a result, and of it's size, the production cost of the bomber was significantly higher than the Rebellion could afford in large numbers. As a result, the planned bomber offensives were called off in favor of small strike teams that would hit tactically, rather than strategically.
