The SB Nephilim

Description:

FS1 Tech Room Description

The Nephilim class bomber is the most alien of the Shivan ships. We are still unsure as to why the Shivans chose this odd shape for arguably their most powerful attack craft. However, with four primary cannons and two turrets, as well as a massive payload, the Nephilim is undoubtedly a serious threat to the GTA. We have already lost two Orion class destroyers to a wing of Nephilims. Unless we learn a weakness soon, we will most likely lose two more.

The Nephilim has been designated a Class A threat to GTA destroyers and cruisers. In unpopulated systems, it is to be considered a Class B threat.

FS2 Tech Room Description

The SB Nephilim is the slowest of the Shivan bomber classes. These craft were first encountered during the Great War and are still found in many Shivan attack formations. Nephilims are heavily armored and shielded, enabling them to deliver their devastating payloads despite their lack of speed.

Veteran Comments

Beware the Nephilim's primary weapons, of which it has quite a few. Should for some reason it take notice of you and turn to attack, do not go head-to-head with this ship, as it is more then likely to tear anything short of a heavy assault fighter to shreads.

Isn't that shreds? Anyway, the Nephilim usually carries Cyclops torpedoes and appears in the last few convoy missions of the campaign. Destroying them might take a slightly longer time than usual, as it has a very sturdy shield.
