Name: Asmodeus-Class Heavy Bomber

Designation: Heavy Bomber

Length: 22 meters

Designer: Askar Vri'kre, Bothan Research and Development Division.

Shields: 80 SBD

Hull: 80 RU

Speed: 75 MGLT

Hyperdrive: x3,

Consumables: 3 days (K-18 Rations)

Weapons: 2 Lasers (Mounted on Wingtips), 1 Ion Cannon (Mounted on Mini-turret above cockpit), 4 proton torpedo launchers (2 mounted on each side cockpit, 6 torpedos each) 1 Heavy Rocket Launcer (Mounted Under Cockpit, 12 Unguided Heavy Rockets)

Special Equipment: SAET Thrust System.

Purpose: The Asmodeus is intended for use in the destruction of heavily defended enemy capital vessels. It is fully capable of getting to it's target and delivering a devestating torpedo salvo while withstanding a large amount of damage.

SAET Thrust System- Often called the "Seat" thruster by Bothan pilots, it is similar in purpose to the Imperial Missle Boat's SLAM system- the SAET (Sheild Assisted Emergency Thurst) system is desgined for one of two purposes: 1)propelling a bomber through a defensive screen, or 2) Escaping from a high fire area. When engaged the Asmodeus bomber instanly shunts all of it's sheild power into its engines, and automatically maxes the bomber's throttle. The Asmodeus loses all sheild power, but is propelled for a short duration (usually lasting about 20-30 seconds) at over double its normal speed, around 160 MGLT. This thrust cannot be disengaged, and is not optimum for making turning manuevers (although the bomber does not have to fly in a straight line.) Once the 'burn' is over, the Asmodeus cannot revive its sheilds, and must undergo a 'recharging procedure' on either it's mothership or fighter bay, a lengthy procedure that requires trained starship mechanics.
