Ankuo fighter bomber

Description

The Ankuo fighter bomber named after the mythological creature of death is a relatively nimble fighter with light bombing capabilities in service with various arms of the armed forces of the SGN.

 

Lore

The fighter bomber entered the service of the SGN in 1923 following the official formation of the SGN's armed forces.

The fighter was built using experience from various companies in the SGN including work from Nederlander companies such as the infamous Aviateknik company as well as utilising Frankik (The term for people of Frankish culture,descent or speakers of franksh in the SGN) firms such as Dewoitine.

The plane soon entered frontline service after being rushed through a quick 6 month design and production period and soon became the leading fighter in service with the SGN seeing use crushing the remaining lunar cultist forces in the immediate post revolution phase (1923-1925) and being used to thwart the anti-spartacist uprising (led by former amestiran agents) of 1925.
