A product of the recently revived Shaman Starship Co., the so-called "stealth bomber" is equipped with some very high-tech equipment that make it invaluable to attacks on capital ships. It has a cloaking device, a black paintjob that makes it nearly invisible in space, and a radar jammer that can cover any escort ships travelling with it. A squadron of these bombers could take out a major capital ship in one, maybe two rounds of bombing. However, if they are discovered, they are sitting ducks for a ship of any size. Their only anti-fighter defense is their 4 forward-facing chainguns, which aren't very useful to this slow-turning ship. It can be docked in the same spot as two fighters, making it very difficult to transport with fighters. However, its payload against capital ships is much better than a fighter's against the same target, making it worth it in a major battle.
