GTB Boanerges:
Type: Heavy Bomber
Maneuverability: Very Poor
Armor: Very Heavy
Manufacturer: RNI Systems
Description: The new GTB Boanerges has been assigned to elite bomber squadrons in the 3rd, 4th, and 5th Terran battle groups. The challenge of maintaining an aging fleet has motivated the GTVA to develop a new generation of ships able to withstand long-term abuse in the field. By maximizing shielding and payload (while offering enough maneuverability to make it a viable tactical unit), the Boanerges promises to remain in service for decades to come. One test pilot observed that the Boanerges handles better than any other bomber and has enough firepower to make it a formidable anti-capship weapon.

This bomber has the largest capacity in the GTVA fleet, capable of carrying 10 Helios bombs or 17 Cyclops. It also has one of the the strongest shielding and hull of any bomber in the GTVA fleet. However, it has some of the worst handling in the game, so a maneuverable fighter can get behind you and you can't do anything about it
