The Federation class atmospheric bomber is primarily
used in planetary atmospheres, but it is capable of
engaging enemy forces in low orbit should the need arise.
Their production began during the Lightness War, where
their role was colony protection along with the Ulysses class fighters. During the course of the war, this
combination proved to be a highly effective aerospace
defense against planetary bombing runs.
The Federation class is slower and less maneuverable
than the Ulysses class, but packs more firepower.
Unfortunately, its explosive payload is somewhat limited,
so it has a constant need of rearming during combat,
which limits its effectiveness.
The Federation class is the primary atmospheric bomber
in the GA military.
