The Orion Series

The Rigel Class Tactical Bomber is the second in the Orion series of vessels produced by Saleza Aeronautics. The Rigel is an assault vessel designed to operate against space stations, large cruisers and planetary defences. Its wide, flattened body is designed to present a small cross-section to incoming fire while providing adequate capacity for missiles and shield boosters. The Rigel was originally intended to be fitted with a pair of uprated heavy mining lasers optimised for penetration against armour and embedded surface targets. However, this approach did not deliver the desired rate of fire, even with the use of the latest heat sink technology, and so the production version is equipped with a standard military laser armament. This, combined with four standard missile pylons, produced a vessel that could attack large vessels and stations and make a good account of itself in combat.
