The Antarean navy wanted an all in one bomber with the wing design of the Rakshasa. As such it can operate even in very low atmosphere planets where other fighters would expend too much fuel to be effective.
Most fighter design have foregone ion cannons for their power requirements and length. The engineers working on the Rakshasa have managed a small ion cannon and six anti-ship tubes in just one bomber. Completely dedicated, these are easily destroyed by enemy fighters.
A variant exists where the ion cannon has been replaced by energy cells to make a long range bomber.
This is a bomber. It can devastate slow moving ships such as battleships and carriers. After a bombing run it must return to carrier to reload. Made by Foyeri Astrotech and Avex.
