Avion-1B Carrier Bomber

(NOTE: Ship has life support because of the work I did to set up fuel systems for the hydrogen thrusters, but I'm unsure if it will work properly in survival)

(This is an attempt at a collab with a friend's lore and craft, which can be found here:)

LORE:

The Avion-1B Carrier Bomber is a small spacecraft meant to bomb capital ships.

In an alternate timeline, Germany and Italy had won World War Two, but Fascism was replaced with Imperialism, and Italy had reformed the Roman Empire.

As the United States became Fascist, a sudden change brought about by a major infiltration of the American government via still-fascist german spies, what remained of France, now an underground rebel force fighting for the freedom of Europe, had found itself without allies.

dealing with the fake-Roman Imperialists and Nazi Germany, The leader of France knew that something had to change. In 2023, word came around of massive Italian advancements in the field of space travel, and a secret mission started by France stole a prototype craft.

Using these prototype craft, All remaining citizens of France left for Mars. according to the Roman and German public, all of these French ships were shot down by Italian or German missiles, as was first thought by these nations' leaders, but a small French transport managed to slip by undetected, founding a small colony of about 100 people on Mars.

In 2020, a group of Nazis got a hold of launch codes for most of the world's nukes, and threatened to render earth uninhabitable if all nations would not become Fascist by 2030.

The non-fascist nations, including the Roman Empire and various non-european nations still scattered throughout the world, could somehow not track down this group, and when it was revealed that the group was in an entirely different Solar System, having used experimental technology to get there, every nation decided to get every citizen they could off of earth.

One of the ships used in this mass-exodus of earth was the precursor to the Avion, a luxury spacecraft owned mainly by the wealthy which was converted into some sort of space-bus to transport people onto larger carriers. When the nations of Earth arrived in a new solar system to start anew, this ship became a common sight.

Back in our solar system, France, holding out on Mars, planned to invade the Romans and Germans, hoping to put a massive dent in both the Imperialist and Fascist worlds and reinstate Democracy. of course, France was not well-prepared for an entire invasion, so they built the Avion-1A.

The Avion-1A was designed to look just like the luxury spacecraft that inspired it, but with various holes that guns could pop out from. This design choice was made so that the Avion-1A could pass as a normal, civilian Avion, getting past Blockades and bombing Roman Capital ships or important buildings.

Eventually, the Romans caught onto this, banning any Avions, Civilian or not, and staging a massive invasion force to destroy France. France, meanwhile, designed the Avion-1B.

More closely resembling a Military craft then the Avion-1A, the Avion-1B was built with a rear gunner seat controlling a turret on the back to defend against Interceptors or to disable turrets on larger ships, given more missile-bombs, and finally given heavier armor. While not as powerful as the "Aquila" AR.58 the New Roman Empire uses, the Avion-1B is cheaper to produce and an experienced pilot could still beat an Aquila in a dogfight.

As the Roman Fleets draw nearer, the French are getting desperate. The Avion-1B is being sold to civilians such as yourself all over Mars, as when the Roman Fleet arrives, these ships may save France, and Democracy as well...

...Or, in the wrong hands, be the end of it.



DETAILS:
Beware that you need to press "1" and "2" on your keyboard before using the weapons. the weapons are hidden in little notches in the hull, and 1 and 2 deploys them. failure to do this will result in you shooting your own ship, as the undeployed weapons open fire at the insides of the craft.

The ship is also intended for creative-only. you can try it in survival, but it may not work
