Introduction | 2544 CE |
The Aegis Retaliator Bomber is a heavy bomber used by the UEE Military for centuries. It is a key portion of the UEE's power projection, Retaliator squadrons have served with distinction against outlaws, the Vanduul and elsewhere. The base version of the Retaliator is customizable with additional modules.[1][2]

Brochure Description
The military needed a ship that could deploy faster than a capital ship, could access a wider variety of jump points, and could still deliver payloads of near equal size and devastation. While a formidable foe on its own, a fleet of Retaliators has time and again proved to be more than a match for larger class vessels.

History
Since its introduction in the 26th century, Aegis Dynamics' Retaliator has had a distinguished, if conflicted, history. Before they started designing the bomber, researchers performed extensive interviews with military pilots to understand what was lacking in the contemporary bombers of the time. This pilot-centric approach drove the design decisions of what became the Retaliator; a heavy ordnance weapons platform capable of handling both fighters and ground targets. Although the Retaliator was almost synonymous with the reign of Messers and began to see decreased usage as the military distanced itself from that era, the ship began a surprising resurgence in the private sector.
The Retaliator was at the center of many controversies during the later Messer years, when the Navy decided to use Cluster Missiles against a political activist group hiding in what is now Haven, sparking debate throughout the UEE. After the Battle of Idris IV, Retaliators became common in recruitment messages for the First Tevarin War. Images like this one were created to help maintain the momentum of that landmark victory, cited by many historians as the turning point in the war.[3]
Model
Ship profile
Series variants
The Retaliator Base is basically an "empty" ship without any modules installed, allowing the pilot to purchase and install modules to customise their design. |
Modules
The Retaliator was first introduced as a heavy UEE bomber. Later the option came to swap out various modules to convert it's usage to something else entirely.
Front Module | Rear Module | Name | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Cargo | Transform your ship into a secure transporter. Each module has lift platforms that lower to the ground for easy loading/off-loading. | ||
Dropship | With seating for up to twelve troopers that can be easily lowered to the surface, it also comes with easy access to an array of weapon & ammunition storage units. | ||
Living | With these living quarters modules, you can turn your 'Tali' into a home away from home. | ||
Torpedo | The original modules of the Retaliators, the forward bay carries four torpedoes while the rear bay adds two more. |
Future Modules
CIG have stated that they hope to have more modules types in the future. These include Bomb Bays,[4] Bounty Hunting, Medical, Salvaging and even recharging stations for the Titan armor.[5]
