DESCRIPTION​

Originally designed by Consolidated Koensayr Manufacturing Holdings for The Resistance after they accepted their modified BTA-NR2 Y-Wing Starbomber as one of their main weapons against the First Order, the V86 Starbomber was in answer to the use of B/SR-17 StarFortress Heavy Starbombers by The Resistance. Specifically in the use of the StarFortresses against one of the Flagships of the First Order during one of the darkest days of The Resistance... let it never be said that professional pride could not be stung even during such a significant moment in history.

Almost immediately the engineers and designers began the process of making their own heavy starbomber that could compete and, hopefully, outdo the StarFortresses. During testing they decided that one of the design flaws of the StarFortress was that it couldn't NOT drop all of its bombs in one blow. While this meant they dealt a massive amount of damage over a smaller area, it also limited how they could be deployed - the answer was seen as spreading the payload over a wider area and the ship was given its distinctive V-shape to help meet the damage for surface area to allow for separate bomb-bays.

Testing on desolate moons in the Mid Rim, it was confirmed that the V86 could alter the landscape of its target zone much in the same way as the B/SR-17 but over a wider area. Penetration was naturally sacrificed by spreading the payload but this was seen as a feature rather than a bug. However before the V86 could really leave the testing phase the worst possible thing happened;

Peace.​

The project was shelved indefinitely for years as the need for a starbomber capable of such destruction became non-existent at best and criminal at worst.

Then war came back to the Galaxy and Consolidated Koensayr Manufacturing Holdings, still a company but looking to make more profits than typically came from making freighters during peace-time, saw the opportunity for what it was. The V86 was un-mothballed and new engines and other technologies were added to make it relevant to the current market.

Slightly pricier than it perhaps might have been due to the edits made in its design so late after its initial development, the V86 Heavy Starbomber was rolled out as the Sith Empire began its war on the Galaxy and Consolidated Koensayr Manufacturing Holdings declared that they were back in the bombing business.

And business was booming.

LEGALITY​

Restricted. V86 Starbombers are heavy starbombers, and despite their obsolescence they are still subject to extra licensing requirements and increased scrutiny by authorities.

INTENT​

Intent is to create another heavy Starbomber that is not faction specific so can find its way into factions of all kinds such as they require or request. Also, legitimately, just because I like the idea of the B/SR-17 StarFortress Heavy Starbomber but I really dislike the design. Like a lot.

RESTRICTIONS​

Individual characters are barred from owning heavy starbombers. Ownership of a vessel of this type is restricted to factions.
