The A/SF-02 B-Wing Aurora Heavy Bomber
Designed exclusively for defense of the Roche, the Verpine continued their engineering to develop several experimental variants of the B-Wing, the first being the Aurora. The Roche Asteroids is a dangerous place, larger than normal size asteroids tumble through space allowing good protection for the famed shipyards of the Verpine and Mon Calamari, but poor navigation for the lumbering capital ships produced there, essentially making it a deathtrap for any invader who wishes to bring heavy captial ships into the heart of Verpine territory. To protect the famed shipyards, the Verpine needed a craft capable of dealing heavy payloads yet still able to easily maneuver the treacherous space lanes. This need brought about the B-Wing Aurora, a twin cockpit variant of the B-wing which allowed more precise targeting of its special weapons thanks to the dedicated bombardier.
The B-Wing Aurora was armed with:
4 proton torpedo launchers
2 medium ion cannons
4 cockpit blaster cannons
2 light mass drivers
Conner Net Deployment Special Ability
Although the craft was still protected by the same strong shield generator as the B-Wing, the lack of the gyrocockpit and same strength armor which was weaker than a Y-wing's made the bomber an easier target for fighters and interceptors, relegating its role to defensive strike missions amongst the asteroids of Roche, and never being accepted by the New Republic.

While the Standard B-Wing was designed to cripple larger capital ships by taking down shield and destroying hardpoints, the Aurora was intended to devastate armor with its torpedoes and mass drivers, bringing the death knell to already damaged capital ships who dared to navigate the dangerous space lanes of the Roche Asteroids.
Just a question.Will the imperial units be available for new republic if imp remenent is not playable?
The Imperial Remnant is a subfaction, useable by all 3 sides during the war, thanks to our Diplomacy Code...
Don't worry, we know what people want, and we aim to deliver
our long term fans know a special saying that I often would repeat.... ;)
thx :D
So if you know what people want then will I have Imperial fleets crushing the puny corrupt unlawful republic fleets and reclaim the galaxy? In all seriousness I know the galactic alliance is a thing and all but personally It just doesn't feel right to put the IR as a subfaction given their huge role in facing the vong and what not.
Is this in any sort of cannon? Not trying to be a ****, just curious. Also which factions will get to use this ship?
This was the inspiration:
Rpggamer.org and Korpil B-Wing Intel/Heavy Assault Variants
I found it to be interesting, but for a twin-cockpit version of the fighter it just seemed... lacking... so instead of a recon ship, made it into a heavy bomber. The firepower from this things is going to be a bit intense, 4 proton torpedos and twin mass drivers will tear through small warships with ease, especially if this is in a squadron of 6 fighters.
Roche Industries is going to be the subfaction this fighter belongs to. It will not be buildable, but rather a defensive ship that becomes available when building defensive hangars on the space map - these work similar to how you would buy Golan Defense platforms in other mods, but would deploy squadrons of fighters to attack nearby enemies.
Ok that makes sense. Cool ship by the way.
its was mentioned in a star wars book. it was just how organa commented to herself how she 'pittied' anyone fighting the verpine and there bwing swarms
Shipbuildwrs be like: "what happend when we make too b-wings into conjoined twins with a razer in the middle? LET'S FIND OUT!"
Awesomeness followed
Not a bad Idea
