"Super Bomber"
When stationed at Darkside Outpost the Special Operations teams aboard the GTD Immortal requested what they referred to as a "Super Bomber." What they got was the Athena II. Utilizing an experimental Fission Drive core in place of the standard Ion Drives, the Athena II can achieve speeds rivaling even the Valkyrie's. The extra power given by the Fission Drive allows the Athena II to carry certain types of bombs, at the cost of lesser primary capabilities and inability to carry some missile types. Essentially the Athena II was designed for hit-and-run missions. Carrying a payload of up to 5 Tsunami bombs, and at a speed of 80 U.P.S., this sip can get in and destoy hostile cap ships and be gone before they can even be targeted.
The Athena II is strictly for Special Ops at this time, so don't expect to get a hold of them any time soon. Only one full squadron have been produced and these ships are aboard the Immortal.
It is recommeneded that these ships be assigned only to the best of pilots. High speeds come at the expense of lighter armor and shields. The Fission Engine itself produces a shockwave comparable to a light cruiser if it reaches critical status. These elements add up to make the a precision killing machine... or a death trap.
