Editing Sun Shark Bomber (section)

==Overview==

Sun Shark Bombers come equipped with a [[Pulse Bomb Generator]], which produces a ball of deadly plasma beneath the craft. At the pilot's command, the pulsed induction field propels the glaring energy ball towards targets on the battlefield below. Sizzling the air around it, the pulse bomb explodes on the ground with an incandescent fury, spreading destruction over a wide radius. A shoal of Sun Shark Bombers flying in tight formation can blast apart even the most surging of [[Ork]] [[WAAAGH|WAAAGHs]]! with a single flyover. An extremely effective weapon, once fired, the pulse bomb generator immediately begins to form another destructive charge. Sometimes, however, a persistent glitch from its prototype days results in a power failure, meaning the Sun Shark cannot drop further bombs until the engineers can reconfigure the micro power plant.

With this in mind, the Sun Shark has also been equipped with several other weapons, including a pair of [[seeker missile]]s. Many a desperate [[Pathfinder]] or [[Fire Warrior]] Team owe their continued existence to those airborne seeker missiles, which they call in using their [[markerlight|markerlights]]. Their ability to strike enemy vehicles or make short work of armoured infantry with the help of nearby air support greatly increases their chances for survival. The Sun Shark also bears a tail-mounted [[missile pod]], which can be upgraded to a [[Twin-Linked|twin-linked]] version, as well as a nosemounted networked markerlight to line up bombing runs.

To ensure the Sun Shark survives long enough to deliver its bombing run, the vehicle is equipped with a pair of wing mounted [[Interceptor Drone]]s. Each armed with a powerful twin-linked [[Ion Rifle|ion rifle]], Interceptor Drones can either stay attached to the Sun Shark, where they act like turretmounted weapons, or, they can detach from the flyer and serve as an escort. When disembarking from the Sun Shark Bomber, the Interceptor Drones position themselves to intervene between the bomber and any oncoming fighters. They also have the ability to boost their jets, giving them a rare burst of speed, that allows Interceptor Drones to better position themselves to lock onto aerial targets and attempt to blast them out of the sky. Few enemy flyers are capable of withstanding the vaporising effects of the ion rifle, and some Interceptor Drones have racked up impressive kill totals; a source of bragging rights for the Sun Shark's Air caste pilots, if not for the AI powered drones themselves.
