Developed in secret by a Alliance loyalist known only as "Regis", the S-7 Chimera starfighter was designed to be a long-range bomber. It is been documented as being able to operate over long distances delivering a heavy payload with extreme precision. Despite this fact, the S-7 is slow and not very maneuverable. Thus, it is usually accompanied by at least a wing of fighters for extra protection when on a bombing mission.   The S-7 Chimera has demonstrated the ability to incapacitate capital ships and has a history of destroying a large number of smaller Imperial capital ships.
