The Starhawk is an Imperial Navy Bomber
Starhawk bombers are larger, slower craft, designed to carry a heavy payload of plasma bombs and armour piercing missiles, for use against enemy capital ships. Crewed by a pilot, co-pilot, tech-priest (plus acolytes), various turret gunners and a logistics officer, a standard Starhawk features limited sleeping quarters, chemical toilets and even an automated medical unit inside its hull. Armed with a multitude of short-range turret-mounted defence weapons, used to fend off enemy starfighters, a lone Starhawk can wreak havoc among enemy fighter squadrons before swooping in to deliver a crippling missile strike on an enemy capital ship. On rare occasions, Starhawks can be modified to carry and launch a very small number of anti-starship torpedoes.
==History==
The Starhawk is the more effective replacement for the Marauder bomber following that model's reassignment as an atmospheric bomber. It features an indrease increase in armour, speed and maximum payload over the Marauder .
