"A dark future looms over your forever."

Background

The UJPA-2 "Loomer" is a stealth fighter, and successor to the wildly-successful Unitary. It is by most means little more than a generational upgrade; more advanced technology, increased payload, and so on. Its one truly noteworthy feature is that the fuselage mounts have been converted into internal bays, enabling a light stealth-compatible payload in addition to whatever is carried in the bomb bay.

The choice of a sizeable bomb bay in turn for limited weapons bays turned out to be a wise choice; while it meant limiting how many weapons could be launched at a time, it provided excellent capacity which in stealth missions gave it an edge over its rivals. When stealth wasn't important to maintain, however, the Loomer was subpar. It was ultimately a favorable tradeoff.

The lesson: stealth is a game changer; more aggressive pursuit is worthwhile.
