The GTB Hydra

Description:

Derelict Tech Room Description

The GTB Hydra is the latest in the development of the Artemis bomber series. Borrowing much from the lessons learned from the DH variant, the Hydra is both faster and more maneuverable than either of its earlier counterparts. In many ways, the Hydra is a true fighter bomber. Although it lacks in gun mount capacity, this ship has now been modified so that it can carry the powerful UD-8 Kayser. Given its multirole capacity, GTVA command expects that the Hydra will be put into general use in the near future.

The Hydra continues the proud tradition of each new bomber in the GTB Artemis series not really being a real upgrade.
