The Scythe-class fleet bomber was a multirole heavy fleet bomber utilized by the Terran Dominion and its successor, the Terran Republic. Originally conceptualized as a bomber with anti-capital ship capabilities, the Terran Dominion Engineering Corps looked to install anti-capital ship armaments aboard the fleet bomber, granting it a single heavy proton bomb and two missile assemblies containing a dozen AIM-22 Gemini missiles; a heavy knockout punch capable of dealing substantial damage to any light capital ship. It was also given four light laser cannons for point defense.
