Imperial Navy

When rapid interceptors are scrambled to support bomber squadrons or counter air raids, the fast and agile Lightning and Lightning Strike Fighters are first to the fight. Armed with powerful lascannons or multi-lasers, they excel at sending enemy aircraft spiraling to their dooms far below the area of engagement.

Imperial Navy players are spoiled for choice when it comes to small, vicious dogfighters. Add Avenger Strike Fighters to the mix for some massive firepower, protected by a tail gunner – rare on such a small craft. Their mix of weapons allows you to make them a dedicated ground-attack craft, or a slugger to tail and take out slow-moving bombers. If you want to mix up the look of your squadron, these utilitarian craft look like nothing else in your forces, with their down-swept wings, exposed engines and wide tails.

If you need to obliterate ground targets in your games of Aeronautica Imperialis, look no further than the pride of the Imperial Navy's air-to-ground attack craft – the formidable Marauder Bombers.

Unleash the fury of the Imperial Navy’s Marauder Destroyers with this set, which includes two of their number armed with a fearsome array of turrets for aerial defence.

If aerial domination is your goal, then the Imperial Navy’s Thunderbolt Fighters are the answer. These versatile craft are equipped with twin lascannons for one-shot kills, as well as quad autocannons – or in the case of the Fury-pattern Thunderbolt Fighters, avenger bolt cannons – for shredding enemy flyers with gunfire.
