The Retaliator is one of the Navy’s most powerful warbirds, built from the ground up to take down capital ships. Its squadrons have served in humanity’s pivotal campaigns. The base version can be customised with combat or utility modules.

📜 Its history

Introduced in 2544, at the height of the First Tevarin War, it was born from interviews with military pilots. On 30 September 2544, at the Battle of Idris IV, the new R27HE torpedoes misfired or exploded in their tubes; young Captain Ivar Messer took command on the ground and called danger-close bombing runs that turned the battle. That victory launched Messer’s rise… and gave the Retaliator a glorious but conflicted history.
