Hyena-class Bomber

==Summary==
The Hyena-class bomber, often also referred to as the Hyena bomber droid, was a type of variable geometry droid starfighter-bomber manufactured by Baktoid Armor Workshop and whose design was heavily inspired by the Xi Charrian Vulture-class droid starfighter. Introduced some time just before the Battle of Christophsis in 22 BBY, they served with the Confederate Navy throughout the Clone Wars of 22 to 19 BBY. They were often given tasks such as planetary bombardment, destruction of specific holdouts resisting against separatist occupation, anti-capital ship operations against the Republic Navy, even CIS fleet defence and enforcement of planetary blockades. After the end of the Clone Wars and the rise of the Galactic Empire, commandeered and reprogrammed Hyena bombers were used by various rebel factions across the galaxy in their struggles against the empire.
==Powers and Stats==
Tier: with laser cannons, far higher with concussion missiles. with proton torpedoes. with proton bombs
Name: Hyena-class bomber
Origin: Star Wars
Gender: Genderless (Unlike most other battle droids, which have masculine programming, the gender of the Hyena bomber’s programming remains unclear)
Age: Varies
Classification: Robot, Battle droid, Light starfighter bomber
Allegiance: Confederacy of Independent Systems (Separatist Navy), Free Ryloth Movement (commandeered and reprogrammed), Berch Teller’s rebel cell (commandeered and reprogrammed)
Length: 12.48 metres in flight mode and 3.1 metres in walk patrol mode
Height: 3.1 metres in flight mode and 12.48 metres in walk patrol mode
Material: Unknown, likely high strength alclad alloy armor plating
Terrain: Ground, Atmosphere, Space
Powers and Abilities: Superhuman Physical Characteristics, Transformation (Can switch between an insectoid “walk patrol” mode and a sleek “flight” mode in an instant), Flight (Powerful repulsorlift engines allow them to take flight in an instant), Energy Projection (Thanks to directed energy weapons built into their bodies)
Attack Potency: Multi-City Block level with laser cannons (Equipped with the same kind of light starfighter grade laser cannons as the Vulture Droid), far higher with concussion missiles. Small Town level+ with proton torpedoes (Should be in the same league as the ARC-170 Starfighter. Capable of blasting through the hull of a Venator-class Star Destroyer). Island level with proton bombs (Can be equipped with anti-capital ship grade proton bombs. Furthermore, a small fleet of bombers carrying four of these is capable of destroying Lessu, the capital city of Ryloth which is built into and around a gigantic mountain)
Speed: Transonic atmospheric speeds (1150+ km/hr). Can accelerate continuously to Sub-Relativistic+ speeds in space (During the Berch Teller campaign’s assault on the Sentinel moon, they proved themselves capable of covering a distance of 200,000 km in mere moments. They are also more than capable of keeping up with the likes of the Eta-2 Actis-class Light Interceptor and ARC-170 Starfighter)
Durability: Small Building level (Sturdier than the standard Vulture Droid)
Range: Several kilometres with its laser cannons and cluster/proton bombs, dozens of kilometres with concussion missiles and proton torpedoes.
Intelligence: Below Average. Their droid brains lack any sort of tactical acumen or other higher thinking capacity. Their primary tactic in battle is to simply rush the enemy and attempt to overwhelm them with their speed & agility, sheer numbers, and high rate of fire of their weapons.
Weaknesses:
* Lack of deflector shielding makes them glass cannons and susceptible to being one-shot by an enemy starfighter or any enemy heavy weaponry.
* Their droid brains lack any sort of tactical acumen or other higher thinking capacity. Their primary tactic in battle is to simply rush the enemy and attempt to overwhelm them with their speed & agility, sheer numbers, and high rate of fire of their weapons.
* Lack of an inbuilt hyperdrive system necessitates travelling with a hyperdrive equipped carrier ship. This reduces their overall tactical and strategic viability as starfighters.
