“Say bomber to anyone in Confed space and they will typically picture the venerable Feral Bomber. That’s for good reason, the beasts have been in service for over two centuries, are still in production, and there is no end in sight to that. The Feral is here to stay and on flash in the pan bomber that has come along has unseated it from its throne. Sheol, I trained on the same Feral-E that my father and Grandfather flew, if the model hadn’t been retired and scrapped my son would have flown it too, assuming the war hasn’t ended by then.” Major Brin Strat after the taking of Fortress Valkyrie.

Designed as an interim bomber to face the original Gorvian threat, continuous upgrades and redesigns have kept the Feral Bomber in continuous service for over two centuries. The modern Feral has been so heavily redesigned over its lifetime that is bears little resemblance to its original form, maintaining only its trademark triple hull design.
The life of the Feral is so long due to it’s excellent design and ability to have numerous sub variants on the same basic space frame. The Feral-F was introduced immediately following the Battle of Tamkin’s Star replacing the Feral-E model. Visually the Feral-E and F are visually indistinguishable from the exterior. Beneath the skin they are two entirely different beasts. The entire avionics suite was replaced including an advanced ECM suite more powerful than even that on the E.3 ECM variant.
Common Variants:
F.1: bomber,
F.2: Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR)
F.3: Electronic Counter Measures (ECM)
F.4: Tanker
F.5: Spaceborne Warning and Control System (SWACS)
F.6: Special Operations Combat Insertion Craft (SOCIC).
Ships or bases with lay up facilities can order field modification kits to convert F.1 models to any other variant except the F.5.
