- Bridge Creek-Moore: The Tornado II, attached to the end of it's wings, has twin horn lasers that can link up into a devastating composite beam, designed to slice through enemy armor.
- Plainfield: Between the four heavy mounts on the wings, and the bomb bay in the belly, the Tornado II is capable of letting loose a very quick, very violent display of explosive power
- Tri-State: The Tornado's main defensive power comes from it's speed. Able to get in fast and low, the Tornado has the ability to flatten an enemy formation before they knew what hit them.
- Joplin: The Tornado is equipped with the latest and greatest of GA sensors. It could hit a mouse in a cornfield from Mach 2 without missing a single shot. And also the cornfield would be gone!
- Favorable Conditions: While the Tornado is quick and incredibly well defended, it's not invincible. Heavy AA will take this storm down if the pilot isn't careful.
- Fair Warning: The Tornado is by no means stealthy. It's large profile can make it a target if enemy starfighters are in the area, and it's ability to defend itself in the air is limited, due to it's poor maneuverability.
- Keep to the South East: The Tornado is, for all it's strengths, designed for one thing. Straight Line Bombing Runs. It's ability to turn is limited, and thus any attempts to out maneuver enemy fighters is practically a fool's errand.
Following the development of Si Tech's fighter program, Rara was inspired by the iconic heavy fighter of the Clone Wars, reworking the design into a CAS fighter/bomber for the ages. Designed to fly in fast, support the GADF's army, while also acting as a bit of extra air superiority for ground invasions, the Tornado II is the answer to the GADF's lack of Close Air Support.
