Retaliator

The Retaliator is a strategic bomber developed by [Aegis Dynamics](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RAdk7jx5Kv-aegis-dynamics) for the [United Empire of Earth Navy (UEEN)](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/RPDvKOpdP4-uee-navy). Variants of the spacecraft have been used in the UEEN for three centuries. Despite distinguishing themselves in various operations such as the [Battle of Idris IV](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/ReJajXKelk-battle-of-idris-iv) in SEY 2544, they are most commonly associated with the abuses of the [Messer regime](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/V8gJ6ZwGqo-messer-era). The current model of the Retaliator was built with modular bays which allow it to be converted from its original role to service as a cargo or dropship. Civilians are known to extensively customize surplus Retaliators for non-wartime roles.
