A powerful strike craft of the Abwehran Armed Forces (AAF).

About the Ship

With need for a strike craft that could bomb facilities and take out warships, the Kondor Jagbomber was born. Grouped by squadrons and normally escorted by fighters, the Kondor was a formidable craft during the Pirate War.

Key Features

The Kondor is the only strike craft to carry a single-barreled 80mm Laser Cannon as built-in weaponry.

Mission Specialization

The Kondor Bomber is used to destroy capital ships and planetary facilities.

Appearance

History and Background

Not only wanting but demanding a bomber for their fighter forces, F+E was thrown into yet another project of creating a workable design. What was to come was the Kondor - class Jagdbomber, a fast and heavily armed strikecraft the the Abwehran Military was craving.

It proved its worth during the Pirate War, accounting for 75% of all kills. This vessel, along with the Raubvogel, has created a fandom and idolization of fight pilots in many of the Abwehran's youth.

Inside the Ship

Compartment Layouts

Cockpit

A tandem cockpit that is quite cramped, there are controls in a stacked formation for both pilot and REO (Radar/Electronics Operator) to allow them to utilize either a four-arm or two-arm control scheme.

Storage Compartment

Located behind the REO's postion, this small storage compartment contains emergency supplies and space for personal gear if transferring to another base. But this space is normally reserved for precious items since space is limited.
