Class Overview
| Class | Heavy Fighter |
|---|---|
| Role | Bomber |
| Manufacturer | CoreArms Incorporated |
Developed in parallel with the FX-20 Olympus, the FB-09 “Thunder” is the Unified Planets Navy’s dedicated anti-capital strike craft. Where the Olympus was built for speed and dogfighting, the Thunder was designed for one purpose: carrying a payload of proton torpedoes heavy enough to threaten capital ships. Sacrificing agility for armor and devastating ordnance, the Thunder is a core component of UPN carrier wings, relying on its FX-20 escorts to screen it during bombing runs.

Additional Details
It lacks the grace of the FX-20 and flies more like a heavily armed shuttle than a true fighter. Its two-person crew fosters a unique dynamic; pilots and their WSOs form famously tight bonds, relying completely on one another for survival. Mechanics find the plasma infuser engines run dangerously hot and require constant maintenance, but pilots respect the raw thrust needed to get a full torpedo payload up to attack speed. The relationship between Thunder and Olympus squadrons is one of total co-dependence: the Thunder crews trust the “little brothers” in their FX-20s to keep enemy fighters off their backs, and the FX-20 pilots know the Thunders are the only ones who can crack the big targets and end the fight.
