“Ugly, Sheol, there is nothing prettier than a Splicer 3000 coming up over a hill, guns blazing, when you are hunkered down in a ditch with enemy tanks pinning you down. Nothing kills tanks deader,” General Orn Trill to reporters after taking Kimmer Three.

The Splicer 3000 light assault bomber was one of the contenders for an assault missile boat to replace the aging Gentech 3. The original production model Splicer 3000 were all built in what is now considered the standard asymmetric configuration. The admiralty at the time, disliking the configuration, ordered two variants be produced instead. The Mark 2 Gunboat; replacing the Missile Pod with a second AntiMatter Cannon. And the Mark 3 Missile Boat; replacing the Anti-Matter Cannon with a second Missile Pod. Squadron commanders and pilots however disliked having two configurations. After numerous petitions most squadrons switched back to the standard Mark 1 configuration. This proven modularity however convinced Splicer Corp to develop two more models, with numerous sub models of the craft.
Configurations:
Mark 1: Standard Asymmetric Configuration
Mark 2: Gunboat
Mark 3: Missile Boat
Mark 4: ECM; features two additional seats and the replacement of all major weapon systems with scanning and/or jamming equipment
Mark 5: Executive Shuttle; based on Mk4 frame, replaces outboard modules with additional personnel carrying units.
Submodels:
MkxB: Replaces the standard Missile Pod with one that features a second Bomb Bay instead of the missile launchers.
MkxG: Replaces dorsal and ventral shark launchers with C8 based Plaser turrets.
MkxS: Replaces the standard Missile Pod with one that features 8 Shark Light Torpedo Tubes.
MkxT: Replaces the standard Missile Pod with one that features a single heavy anti-capitalship torpedo.
This modularity has made the Splicer 3000 popular with escort carriers and smaller militias due to the lower maintenance costs due to operating common craft.
