Initially developed and built by [[Red Hessians]] to commit acts of terrorism against [[Rheinland]] cargo vessels, passenger vessels, and capital ships, the Waran Bomber was later upgraded to become a full-scale bomber with two torpedo mounts, reinforced hull, and extensive power array. Despite its bulky design that many pilots dislike, the Waran has become increasingly popular with Red Hessians and other Rheinland pirate groups in the recent years.

Before development of the Aesir shipline, the Red Hessians made use of this bomber. It, frankly, isn't very popular for a number of reasons, including a reputation for fuel leaks, the large profile that it presents to enemy vessels and the fact that it is as ugly as sin itself. With the acquisition of finer craft, however, the Hessians dumped the ship onto the open black market wherein the bulk of the Waran found quick popularity with the "more power, more guns, fewer problems" crowd, which it turned out included virtually anyone interested in blowing things up. From Junkers to Gaians to Marauders to Xenos, this ship has found universal employment by pilots for whom style is not a concern.
