The planet Hydra is technically a water world with land covering less than 5%
of the worlds surface. Consequently the rival governments on Hydra rely on
water and air power to defend their borders and to exert their wills upon
neighbours. The Vendetta B3 heavy bomber was one answer to air power on Hydra.
The Vendetta is typical of TL5 bombers constructed throughout human space.
