	The Khopesh can deliver an accurate and devastating rocket barrage to its target. Safer and more reliable in dealing its damage than other bombers, it also doesn't boast quite the same damage potential.
–In-Game Description

Notes

The hegemony's most commonly used bomber, the khopesh saturates it's target wiith a payload of 10 annihilator rockets in a 5x2 salvo per bomber. While packing less potential damage than other bombers, the Khopesh lack of shields to become overfluxed (and thus prevented from firing it's ordnance) and high durability for a bomber (equal to that of a Thunder fighter) makes them potentially more reliable under situations of high point defense. Notably the mass delivery of annihilator rockets may distract enemy point defense long enough for more damaging bombers to get their ordnance to their target.

The Khopesh like other unguided torpedo bombers, cannot fire it's payload across friendly vessels and requires a direct line of sight to begin it's attack run. Thus, it is recommended to utilize weapons with long range or ships with high mobility to prevent accidental friendly fires.
