Golem-B Attack Plane
design by Stan Bundy
This is a TL 9 variant of the
Golem, with
upgraded systems and an HBT replacing the fuel cells. This
version is be a joint venture between the Luhtalan manufacturer
and a minor Oriflamme aircraft manufacturer seeking to expand its
operations. The latter was not originally enthused with the
prospect of a business venture with the Luhtalans, until its
owner got a chance to fly one of the standard Golems, and was so
impressed with the design that the usual Centrist/Federalist
rivalries took a back seat to the desire to build such a well-
rounded design.
