This is it. The namesake is true. The Pinnacle is the absolute best and highest tech jet the AAB division of the Arcanix has ever mustered.

This craft serves as the end all be all long-distance-deadifyer the Arcanix Air Bomber branch has to offer. It is capable of all roles it is assigned. With its Incredible speed and maneuverability it the AAI branch has actually requested copies or retrofits of their own to now avail. With a vehicle like this high profile missions no longer need fighter escorts or intel/recon detachments. The precision with which the Pinnacle has sorted combat operations has become legend.

The fighter bomber was released with all the tech they could get from recent skunkworks contracts leaving other departments fuming. It is deserved however as the AAB never really acquired much during the development rolls prior to this.

The brilliant thing here is that the plans and development of Pinnacle were fairly cost friendly as the design is almost entirely based on a similarly crazy but less well polished plane "Zenith". Decades have passed since that airframe was bleeding edge. The differences between this plane and Zenith are so staggering its hard to say that this is a successor. Couple that with the fact Zenith planes still see limited deployment due to the low materiel counts available to the AAB...
