The ARM Crossbow Heavy Bomber

	The Hornet made and impact against the CORE's lighter capital ships, but fighters were simply not powerful and durable enough to really harm the largest CORE battlecruisers and battleships. These mighty vessels outclassed ARM's equivalents many times over. ARM looked for a way for their fighter fleets to harm these mighty ships.
	ARM scientists came up with the Crossbow. Armed with a new type of ACS missile, capable of punching through the heaviest starship armour, and a defensive laser, ARM's hopes of destroying CORE's massed fleets of capital ships rested on the Crossbow.
	Although armed with immense weapons, the Crossbow is very slow and unmaneuverable, hence the defensive laser. It is shielded, but it will not be enough to make sure that this huge investment (as far as a fighter is concerned) makes it to unload its deadly cargo. These should be escorted at all times!
