As the number of capital ships used by both lawfuls and unlawfuls of Sirius is constantly increasing, various factions that use ships of the Civilian series showed interest in getting their own Bomber. Like other top-tier Civilian ships, the Bomber was developed by the Zoners who are famed for their ship building skills. While being bulky and less agile than other bombers, the Civilian Bomber compensates its drawbacks with strong hull, extended cargo bay, and unmatched reliability of the power array.

Ironically labelled a 'civilian' bomber by its Libertonian designers, who also developed such classics as the 'Eagle' fighter, there is little civil about this piece of kit. This ship is now being used by various civilian corporations that find themselves being pirated by gunboats and similar, who purchase this ship from construction yards or build it themselves after acquiring the rights to its patent. Also of note is the rather large amount of these ships found in the possession of criminal organisations such as the Xenos in Liberty and the Golden Chrysanthemums in Kusari space. This may indicate that these groups are able to cannibalise the hulls of their Eagles and modify them to make them into bombers, or that they have more financial support for their military machines than lawmen would have previously imagined. Seen all over Sirius, in the hands of corporations, criminals, Zoners and Freelancers, this bomber is a versatile piece of equipment, handy for those that all-too-often find themselves on the wrong end of big guns.
