The Murena B-1 Spectral is a supersonic variable-sweep wing, heavy bomber used by the Cartadanian Air Force. It was developed as Cartadania's first single-purpose bomber and has been integral in the development of modern aircraft of the same role. Developed in the late-1970s and early-1980s, it entered service in January 1986. The first two of six were immediately deployed to Crona for Operation Moonlight and the remaining four were stationed forward at Riyyan Air Force Base in the UAE for proximity to the Audonia Wars.
