Majin MK IV
Following the advant of generalist starship design in ST. 1922, as smaller snubfighters became capable of both space-side and planetside missions, the Royal Tarken Navy found it necessary to begin a new starfighter program.
Testing was split among two groups, where the goal was to design a fighter and a bomber respectively. Cross-examination was encouraged, and when the Mako, Tarken’s first second-generation starfighter was completed, the research teams were shuffled to expedite progress on the bomber project.
The Majin-class Cannon Bomber began rolling off the Royal Navy’s manufacturing lines in late ST. 1943, to great effect. It followed the standards set by the Mako, its predecessor, while upgrading some of the equipment pioneered on the previous starfighter.
Equipped with a single, massive cannon with a magazine capacity of 4 shells, a single Majin was capable of nearly completely decimating any ship up to a frigate, provided it could evade defenses long enough to empty its slow-loading magazine.

Firing Procedure:
The bertha will load and operate itself, however this section will simply outline the indicators related to the main cannon.
On the far right of the cockpit is a large dial, this indicates the reloading status. 0 is fully unloaded (or freshly fired), and 1 is fully loaded (or ready to fire).
To the right of the reload timer, is a magazine counter. While self-explanatory, it can also be reset by pressing the button below the magazine dial, in the case that new shells are loaded into the magazine.
