The Hyena-class bomber also called the Hyena-class Droid Bomber, the Hyena Droid Bomber or commonly known as the Hyena Bomber is a CIS Starfighter/Bomber used during the Clone Wars era. Hyena Bombers later make a comeback for the New Confederacy of Independent Systems helping the heroic Trench and the heroic Grievous fight the Galactic Empire during The Last of the Droids era.

Characteristics

The Hyena Bomber is a heavily air support bomber. It can sometimes be a fighter but it was mainly a bomber. It has 2 heads instead of 1 like its brother. The first head is for the flight mode and the second head is for the bombing locator.

The Hyena Bomber in walker mode.

The Hyena-class bomber also has a walker mode similar to the Vulture Droid in case of ground battles or standing on top of ships like the Providence-class carrier/destroyer. Hyena Bombers are usually deployed in groups of 4-10 for heavy air support. When bombing, the Hyena-class bombers are deployed in heavy groups like 10-20.

Role

The Hyena-class bomber was originally designed as an air-to-surface bomber. With its twin laser cannons and maneuverability, the Hyena Bomber also is used as a fighter but only to support other fighters.

History

The Clone Wars

The Hyena-class bomber was designed and constructed in initially limited numbers by Baktoid Armor Workshop for use by the Confederacy of Independent Systems during the Clone Wars. The bombers quickly proved their worth at the Battle of Christophsis, where Separatist Admiral Trench used Hyena-class vessels to run repeated and deadly bombing raids on Republic-controlled areas of the planet Christophsis. The battle allowed the speed and efficiency with which the bombers could strike and return to base to be fully demonstrated, and it was not long before the Hyena-class started to show up in Separatist flight wings across the galaxy.

As the Hyena-class bomber became a serious player in the increasingly deadly aerial arena of the war, the addition of the light bomber to compliment and fly alongside the other droid starfighters of the Confederacy navy added a new dimension for the Galactic Republic's strategists to deal with. Throughout the war the Hyena-classes's ordnance proved devastating to Republic forces on a number of occasions, and their versatility and efficiency when used alongside vulture droids gave the Separatists the upper hand in a number of key battles.

Battle of Kashyyyk

Hyena Bombers engage the evil Y-Wings during the Battle of Kashyyyk.

Several Hyena-class bombers participated in the Battle of Kashyyyk, helping their heroic Supreme Commander of the Droid Armies Grievous against the evil Republic Navy commanded by malicious Jedi Kae Tae Tae. The Hyenas fought alongside Trade Federation Droid Bombers against the evil BTL-B Y-Wing Starfighters destroying many. Hyena Bombers also tried to destroy the 2nd Venator Command Ship but were engaged by Y-Wings yet again. A Hyena-class bomber squad was then sent from TV-94B to bombard the evil Grand Army of the Republic forces on Kashyyyk. The Hyenas destroyed all of the Republic forces on Kashyyyk.

Attack on the Naboo Shipyards

Hyena Bombers bombard Venator & Victory Star Destroyers of evil!

The entire 48 complement of Hyena-class bombers were launched from the Malevolence II per Grievous's heroic orders to engage the massive waves of evil Republic Fighters that were blockading the evil Naboo Level 5 Republic Space Station that Grievous wanted destroyed as a test for the new heroic Subjugator-class heavy cruiser. The Hyenas clashed with the Republic evil Fighters but they were taking heavy losses. At one point during the Attack on the Naboo Shipyards, the Confederacy of Independent Systems Fighters were only down to 60 Vulture Droids (minus The Grievous Legion) and 20 Hyena-class Droid Bombers. A squad of 5 Hyena-class bombers aided The Grievous Legion in bombarding Victory-class Star Destroyers. They managed to destroy one but were soon cut off by evil ARC-170 Starfighters & V-Wing Starfighters.

However, T-series tactical droid TZ-34 arrived out of hyperspace with the new CIS Droid Carriers to aid the heroic CIS and launched thousands of Droid Fighters including Hyena-class bombers. The Hyenas & the Trade Federation Droid Bombers bombarded the the rest of the Venator-class Star Destroyers making a victory for the heroic Grievous.

The Last of the Droids

Going with Trench

4 Hyena Bombers went with Trench to go Infiltrate Coruscant. The Bombers fought Stormtroopers and escorted Trench and the rest of the team. The bombers continued to see use during The Last of the Droidsera, participating in battles at places including Fresia.
