URIKO FLEET BOMBER PROGRAM
As a joint effort between Phoenix Aerospacy and Ketsurui Fleet Yards, the Uriko fleet bomber has been a controversial unit in both the militaries of the Nerimian Confederation and the Yamatai Star Empire. In the Nerimian Confederation, the Uriko is intended to replace the XB-29 Pulsar II bombers that were the primary offensive weaponry of the retired Whirlwind-class carriers. For the Nerimian Defense Initiative, a bomber that could take the fight through deep space directly to enemy warships with a wide array of anti-ship weaponry was the ideal platform. For the Yamatai Star Empire, they wanted a quick-strike unit that could deliver a substantial payload to its target and quickly return to its home carrier for reloading. The Star Army's insistence that the Uriko be outfitted with a 17' torpedo seemed unorthodox to the Confederates, but led to the initial Uriko prototypes being referred to as 'torpedo bombers.'
In the end, the Star Army version of the Uriko bomber was a much stealthier quick-strike unit, whereas the NDI version as a slower, offensive juggernaut bristling with an array of weapons. Each version of the Uriko reflects each faction's distinct strengths: The Star Army prefers exceptional grace and finesse in the field of battle. In contrast, the NDI Spacy prefers to bring to bear overwhelming and merciless firepower upon their enemies.
