The F/B Cordela is a heavy multi-role aircraft used by the Ostenian Royal Airforce during its early years. It was the first domestically produced aircraft of Ostenia based of the late Peronian monoplanes. Using 2 German produced MG 08s and a 35 lbs bomb the F/B-1 is an excellent fighter.

First shown during the Battle Yerne River on the border of Shenoa, the Cordela took out half a dozen Shenoan built aircraft at the cost of 1 fighter. Showing the effectiveness of this fighter, the F/B-1 was used as a basis for a lot of other Ostenian built fighters.

There are several different models for the Cordela most notably the F/B-1A model which is the main configuration of the aircraft. Another is the F/B-1D which adds an airbrake and 2 more extra bombs at the cost of having one HMG removed for better maneuverability. There is the F/B-1N which is a naval conversion of the aircraft with folding wings. And lastly there is the F/B-1P which adds an improved engine at the cost of weight and maneuverability.
