Blue Planet: War in Heaven Tech Description
With a firepower rating that is termed 'excessive' by many of those in the ruling Council of Elders, the Durga assault bomber carries enough ordnance to level several large planetary cities. As a weapons platform, it is more than capable of dispatching ships approaching destroyer-class specifications. The Durga is the hammer blow when negotiation has failed, and the complete destruction of the enemy is the only option. The Federation possesses extraordinarily small numbers of Durga bombers, and they are being held in strategic reserve until the war enters a critical phase. The presence of Durga bombers near Earth and Mars has single-handedly prevented the GTVA from launching an overwhelming warship attack.

It may seem like the Boanerges, but don't let that fool you. Sure, it may not have a turret and it presents a large target profile, but given the sheer power of UEF anti-matter bombs, the Durga can prove its chops, especially with the high amount of armor points it boasts. Where it really shines is the use of long-range ballistics to deal the opening volley of damage (mainly by way of the Redeemer) before closing in with bombs (however for surgical strikes and SEAD [Suppression of Enemy Air Defense], the Uriel is best at that, thanks to the Archer cannon and Paveways).
The added bonus is unlike the Uriel and Vajradhara, you can link all three primary banks together.
