Atropine, ASB-120

Northrop Grumman ASB-120 Atropine Aerospace Bomber

                    '''History & Data '''

The ASB-120 was built as a medium bomber and was designed to replace several other light bomber aircraft that were in service with the UEF Navy and Air Force.

The ASB-120 incorporated the latest in stealth technology and was used aboard the Navy’s carrier groups.

Even though the ASB-120 fit most of the Navy’s criteria they were still on the lookout for an even more capable craft with an even cheaper price tag.

In its later incarnations the Atropine saw use during the Third Solar War. However, since the plane was definitely not a fighter, it was most often used as a more traditional bomber or as a stand-off missile launcher. As such, it saw service until 2520 C.E. with the only real differences between the three models being avionics upgrades.
