Note: The Dagger is built of sensor absorbing materials, and has a design that was specifically created to minimize its sensor cross-section. It is virtually invisible beyond a space range of 8 units. Additionally, within 8 units it is a difficult sensors roll to detect it and even then sensor operators have a -2D penalty to their skill for this check.
Capsule: The Dagger Bomber is a highly advanced, stealthy design the Noro have been developing to increase bomber survivability. They are as fast as the new Shrike starfighters, but are a heavy, unwieldy craft to pilot, and so suffer even worse than the Striker in terms of Maneuverability. Their use of special sensor absorbing materials also means that they are not quite as hardy as other Noro starfighter designs. Noro designs were heavily influenced by pre-space atmospheric fighters, so they retain better atmospheric speed and handling than many other starfighters. Like other Noro spacecraft, this fighter is nuclear powered, however, the miniature nuclear plant in these fighters only has a 10-year lifespan.
