The GTDr Amazon Model IV-B is an Athena bomber reskin designed as the first Post-Capella simulation drone to train pilots in bomber defense and bomber intercept. With marginally better reaction time and combat abilities, it is the first bomber drone new pilots encounter in their training. Despite its age and dated technologies, mining companies have taken interest in the bomber. The GTVA has flat out refused to service the bombers for fear of more advanced piracy and rebellions.

Tech Room Description
The Surplus Autonomy Initiative’s first drone bomber in the Project Mannequin training series, the long-mothballed Athena bomber is a Great War relic noted for its near-fighter capabilities. The project has leaned on this skillset for a dogfighting bomber drone, and still mixes them into newer bomber drone packages to keep pilots on their toes. The Amazon IV-B features a narrow profile, wide munitions selection, and above-average hull and shields. Beginning pilots are trained on target profile management and adaptability to different munition. Due to its age and capabilities, some mining conglomerates have expressed interest in acquiring the drone as tactical rock breakers in dense asteroid fields where larger ships cannot safely traverse. The GTVA Security Council has so far rejected offers, citing concerns over autonomous pirate deployments.
