The original N01 Rheinland Bomber was crafted as an almost reflexive move on the part of the Rheinland military to the disasterous losses of their assumingly immortal capital ship fleet at the hands of the GMG during the 80 year war. Pressed with the task of constructing a vessel capable of slipping past blockades to strike at vital supply depots and stations seemingly beyond the reach of the Chancellor's flag fleet. These early bombers were little more than cumbersome energy plants wrapped in armor, built in haste from the scavenged remains of gunboats taken from assembly lines.
The modern "Snubnose" Rheinland bomber bears little resemblance to its predecessor. Ultra compact, sleek and possessing the height of Rheinland's renowned reactor technologies, the N58 is a testament to lessons learned and the murderous efficiency of the Chancellor's Military.
Handling
Personally, this is one of my favorite bombers. Capable of mounting a class ten VHF shield, it is a completely different compared to the "Fafnir" bomber, which is nearly as big as a gunboat. And with four guns, and two turrets, it has five forward firing weapons. It also has a very good powercore for being so small, but it suffers from this with handling of a much larger ship. However, with a powercore of a medium bomber, and the profile of a small one, it is hard to hit if the hands of a skilled pilot.
