Ground attack aircraft unit fitted with a powerful gatling cannon.
The Avenger is a dedicated strike fighter, intended to conduct high-speed, low-level attacks on ground targets, with armoured vehicle formations and high-value strategic assets such as munitions dumps forming its principal prey. Its firepower exceeds most other Imperial aircraft of its size, and in particular the Avenger bolt cannon around which its hull is formed is responsible for the fighter's enviable reputation as a tank-killer.
