Perdition Bomber Wing

From Starsector Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The combat-modified Perdition torpedo bomber is an attempt by Luddic militants of both Pather and more moderate sects to address a chronic lack of access to heavy ordinance, particularly during the early days of the Collapse. A common civilian survey/delivery Cranefly-class utility shuttle serves as the base chassis. Originally designed to carry a small cargo package or a few suited-up spacers, the Perdition is welded into an ungainly shell of makeshift armour and the hold doors removed to mount a single Hammer torpedo keyed to the old cargo latch system.

Great faith is required to pilot this haphazard vehicle into battle because its survivability stats should dissuade any rational crew.

–In-Game Description

As said in its description, the Perdition is a repurposed utility shuttle being pressed into the role of an improvised delivery system for Hammer-class torpedo. Its massive OP cost, poor acceleration, and clumsy manoeuvring, even for a bomber, make it a poor choice for any Carrier.
