The GVB Osiris |
Contents
Description:
FS1 Tech Room Description
The Osiris has now become the standard bomber for use in PVN operations. It has replaced the Amun, correcting many of the faults of its predecessor. It is not quite as sturdy, but it has nearly the same weapons capacity, and is faster and more maneuverable.
The Osiris should be considered a C class threat to Fenris class cruisers, and a D class threat otherwise.
FS2 Tech Room Description
The GVB Osiris was the primary bomber of the PVN during the Great War. It is showing its age during the current conflict, as the more advanced Bakha and Sekhmet bombers have replaced it on the front lines in most theatres of conflict. Osiris bombers still in service have been retrofitted to make them compatible with most GTVA missiles and bombs. If well-protected by fighter escorts, a wing of Osiris bombers can still wreak havoc on enemy cruisers and corvettes.
Developer Notes
Low maneuverability and low top speed. However, carries good payload including space bombs. Most commonly used in cruiser strikes.
Name origin
In Egyptian mythology, Osiris is the god of life, fertility, and death. His wife and sister was Isis. It is said that Horus was his son.

Veteran Comments
The Osiris, is, simply put, a piece of junk. It's a piece of junk with bombs, however, so put it out of its misery quickly.
Something cute about these though is that they have two turrets, rather than one like most bombers. The Prometheus-R they come with as standard equipment isn't too dangerous to fighters, but it makes them stronger in action than on paper simply because they're laying down fire in every direction as they shuffle along.
