XD-57 Firebird bomber (Taian)

The XD-57 Firebird is a recent Taian design, combining the propulsion engines of Atrinian ships with Taian expertise in the field of explosives. due to its sloped build, it, like the XD-54, cannot fly into a planet's atmosphere, and therefore is used solely for ship-to-ship combat. In addition to its bomb-bay, it has two heavy plasma cannon located on the tip of each forward-swung "wing", and a rear-mounted turret used to fend off attackers.
