UN Forces Variable Bomber Pilot
OCC
Variable Bomber Pilots of the UN Armed Forces are often an overlooked group,
most of the glory going to the VF pilots flying at breakneck speeds in an
combat. The VB Pilot should not be overlooked however as the crft they fly are
often more deadly than the famed Variable Fighters, porting more armour and
firepower in most cases. Anyone can apply to become a Variable Bomber Pilot,
competition is hot, even if not as hot as for VF places in the Academy.
Applicants must be 16 or over and under go 3 years of Flight School and training
in every elemnt of flying and fighting in these faster than sound state of the
art transformable Fighters. Pilots have been known to graduate within 2 years,
however these pilots are usually noticed early on in training as being gifted
pilots and are transferred to VF training, unless they specifically request to
remain in Variable Bomber training these pilots are then given priority places
flying the VB-6 Konigs Monster. One Bomber that all VB pilots are trained to fly
is the SB-10 Starwing Space Bomber, a non-transformable trans-atmospheric
bomber. The average age of the pilots is 19, however those pilots who are smart
enough to graduate in 2 years could possibly be as young as 18.
Pre-requisite Requirements
IQ10, ME9, PE9, PS8, PP10 required as minimum,
higher preferred.
3 years training. Unless PP16+ then 2 years training time.
