==Description==
 
The '''AB-18C Raubvogel Aerobomber''' is the current incarnation of a ground-attack [[conventional fighter]] produced by the [[Lockheed/CBM Corporation]] at its Rolfston plant on [[Gibbs]].<ref>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 144 - Lockheed/CBM Corporation</ref>  It is one of the most popular conventional bombers within the [[Lyran Alliance]] and the [[Federated Suns]] due to their former status as member states of the [[Federated Commonwealth]].  It is typically used for close support missions.<ref name=HHS170>''Handbook: House Steiner'', p. 170 - AR-18C "Raubvogel" Aerobomber article.</ref>
 
 
 
==Weapons and Equipment==
 
The aerobomber weaponry includes a Large Laser and a Two-Tube Short-Range Launcher in its nose, while both wings each have a single Four-Tube Streak Short-Range Launcher.  The craft carries a ton each of regular and streak SRM missiles.
 
 
 
Used mostly as an atmospheric support craft, many commanders fit the AB-18C with an external [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] unit and four one-ton laser-guided bombs for close support missions.<ref name=HHS170/>
 
 
 
==Cargo==
 
In its role of providing close ground support, the AB-18C is typically fitted with an external [[Target Acquisition Gear|TAG]] and four one-ton [[Laser-Guided Bomb|laser-guided bombs]].<ref name=HHS170/>
 
 
 
==Notes==
 
*No canon Record Sheets have been published for this craft since its publication in ''Handbook: House Steiner''.
 
*The Raubvogel currently has no BattleValue 2.0 listed for it on [[Master Unit List]].
 
*Originally the vehicle name was named "Roubvogel", which seems to be a misspelling of the German word "Raubvogel" (bird of prey). In ''Handbook: House Steiner'', the breakdown of the vehicle's specifications, the list of Lockheed/CBM products, and the table of contents use the name Raubvogel, while Roubvogel is used in the main heading for the unit.
