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.
+
Based loosely on an old, unpopular [[bomber]] design, the "Waran" still bears the name of the vessel it has come to replace. Many rumors circulate about it's origins. Some say [[Junkers]] mated the powercore of the old Waran to the [[Raven's Talon]] frame. Some say the [[Independent Miners Guild|Independent Miners]] secretly constructed this bomber as a craft for unscrupulous clients such as the [[Lane Hackers]]. Whatever the origin, the result is a sturdy bomber capable of unleashing withering firepower on a hapless target.

As with all bombers, this ship maneuvers poorly for a craft of its size. Nevertheless, its firepower and widespread availability 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 [[Bundschuh]] to [[Xenos]], this ship has found universal employment by pilots for whom style is not a concern.
  
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.

However, it makes up for its visual flaws by being able to tear open anything that is bigger then a transport.

After having the title of the ugliest bomber in game for a long time, Waran got a nice rework which made him the most popular Heavy Bomber in the game. For a Heavy Bomber, the size is average (it has a big back), agility solid, guns and snac placement quite good, and it has mediocre armor. Almost any faction can use it and therefore it's the most versatile Heavy Bomber on the market.
