==Description==<br />
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><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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/><br />
<br />
==Cargo==<br />
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/><br />
<br />
==Notes==<br />
* No canon Record Sheets have been published for this craft since its publication in ''Handbook: House Steiner''.<br />
* The Raubvogel currently has no BattleValue 2.0 listed for it on [[Master Unit List]].<br />
* 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.<br />
