Function

The aircraft seats one pilot and is built for combat. Black across the whole airframe, it uses a flying wing layout in a triangular planform: the fuselage runs short, the surfaces curve, and broad flat expanses cover the plane above and below. The silhouette owes a clear debt to the Northrop B-2 Spirit stealth bomber.

Its principal armament is a laser cannon slung beneath the fuselage. Against EPM attacks it can raise Anti-pulse fields as protection. Sensors complete the package: the jet gathers information on every biological response an enemy produces and analyzes their Quirk from it while the fight is still in the air.
