Although the Jotunn was originally effective in the Europa Conflict, the bulk of the platform quickly caught up to its usefulness, requiring squadrons of ships just for protection and becoming vulnerable to enemy fleets.

The original answer to this was to make the Jotunn more effective, so that it would not need to fire so often, or fire from farther away. Thus, the platform was outfitted with a high powered orbital laser, allowing it to hit targets from further out in orbit, and with no chance of enemy point defense intercepting its projectiles.

Still, the Army wanted a ship that they could fly themselves, and one that could be launched from a planet, allowing it to be more easily hidden, readily deployable, and even gain a measure of stealth by hiding its thermal trails in an atmosphere.

The answer to this was the Nightjar, a bomber capable of flight at any level, and designed for atmospheric stealth to hide it from enemies. The ship could easily switch out its ordinance, using only the latest designs for bombs and missiles. This even meant that the Nightjar could be used to fire at other ships if needed, though this feature was very rarely used, and most variants did not include anti-ship ordinance, in order to save on weight.

In order to have as much range as possible, the Nightjar had to be as light as possible, and therefore did not include any conventional defenses. It often flew solo, staying out of range of its enemies, dropping its payload, and exiting the combat arena before enemies responded. This in turn negated the need for any defenses, and made the Nightjar a very effective first-strike capable ship that would be used by the military well into the future.
