The Lancer Heavy Bomber provides heavy, deep strike capability at the fraction of the cost of a capital ship and is more than able to defend itself from starfighter attack. A notable absence amongst the arsenal of most militaries is the heavy bomber. Many chose to forgo the construction of such craft, choosing instead to either send capital ships or swarms of lighter fighter/bombers. Marrak's Military Armaments has decided to resurrect this type of craft, pointing out that capital ships are expensive and standard fighters sometimes lack the range for deep strikes, necessitating a carrier craft.
