Violar Silese Fighter Bomber

Silese Violar (Phantom) Protectorate Fighter Bomber


Overview:

The Violar work on the same principal as the Union in that units which can fufil multiple roles are more effective than specialised units. The Silese reflects this due to its similarities with the Firestorm Fighter Bomber. Able to combat other aircraft in an interceptor role or destroy ground targets in a fast air or bomber kind of way the Silese is incredibly good at its role. However the Silese isnt as well armed as some of the other aircraft around. Though it is incredibly armoured and fast like all Violar units. Against the Firestorm in the Phantom war this lack of multiple armaments meant the Firestorm came out on top, though just. The Silese in fact is an extremely able anti ship attack craft its main armaments making a mokery of most armour types, the Union underestimated this at their peril, others are bound to do the same.

Capabilities:

Armament wise the Silese mounts two forward firing Plasma cutters which while fairly short ranged are able to slice through most kinds of armour in a matter of seconds, this makes it a death sentence to any armoured vehicle or starship though it lacks any sort of AoE and so is useless against infantry. The Silese is also armed with a plasma bomb payload of 6 in an under bomb bay, these plasma bombs are extremely powerful and able to destroy armoured vehicles, starships and groups of infantry alike. In this respect the Silese is a precision tank hunter.

Defensive measures and armour wise the Silese is equipped with typical Violar Nano crystalline armour 35mm thick which is very tough and highly resistant to energy weapons but slightly more vulnerable to SP. It also has amazing Nano repair qualities and so if not destroyed totally the Aircraft can eventually repair itself. This has since been upgraded to Union Quantum Lattice plate around 40mm thick.

Electronic abilities wise the Silese mounts a Violar AI unit which links with the pilot and co-pilot which are the only crew giving them a sort of symbiotic relationship with the craft. This technology is under development to integrate into other Union tech though is slow progress. This AI also shows resistance to hacking and ECM interference making it hard to hide from.

Speed wise The Silese is actually quite fast in respects and so is able to reach Mach 8 in the air and even faster in space, though it usually operates at Mach 2 to engage forces on the ground.
