ZHANDOU BOMBER

The Zhandou bombers represent the Jade Domain's most fearsome aerial weapons, relics of pre-Collapse military technology maintained through meticulous engineering and desperate improvisation. Each aircraft bears distinctive artwork on its fuselage - often depicting dragons - not mere decoration, but kill markers tallying bombing runs against Neo-Cong strongholds. The Zhandou fleet numbers only a few dozen operational craft at any given time, each with a name and history reverently maintained by ground crews who worship these machines with near-religious devotion. Their thunderous approach through Hell's poisonous mists signals impending devastation for Neo-Cong positions and jungle villages alike. Pilot positions are coveted assignments in the Jade Domain military hierarchy, as these aviators live in relative luxury while their ground-bound sisters die by the thousands. Though formidable, the Zhandou fleet dwindles each year and each lost bomber represents a strategic victory for the Neo-Cong, who display salvaged Zhandou wreckage as prized war trophies in their hidden base camps.
