Scarrer

480 AMPPL50  4 months ago

The Scarrer was, before the introduction of the Firefly and the Moth, the main early Fortian bomber. The last aircraft to use the old Nova Evropan naming scheme, it had already seen service in small amounts late into the Nova Evropan Wars but, as most of them had fallen into the Burdeaux pocket, these airships were seized and shipped overseas during the Exodus. Heavily-armed and almost uniquely provided with bomb bays, this airship was unusually powered by three engines sharing a common propeller. Just as with the Twister, Scorcher and Charrer, this was part of the old zeppelin fleet program; intended as a specialized tactical bombing airship.

While important in the early Unification of Florida, the later arrival of bomber airplanes saw it's relegation to transport roles, where the fuel economy inherent to airships was vastly appreciated.
