Background
The HAB-1 "Ultimatum" is the FoGM's first heavy bomber, made as a response to other countries' introductions of similar aircraft. Compared to the other superpowers, it is unexceptional except for its six high-caliber turrets which, thanks to Martilan engineering, has a full 360 degrees of protection. It is propeller-based.
It saw very little use; briefly in Buland, and then never again. Superior aircraft came before it ever had its time to shine. As such, it is historically forgettable except by the most devout enthusiasts.
The lesson? None, actually.
