A1 Spirit

The A1 Spirit is a medium bomber manufactured by [Crusader Industries](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/0OaBkLLG1N-crusader-industries). Based on the Daisy Chain system used in the [A2 Hercules](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/Vgg7yx8ZpY-a2-hercules), the A1 Spirit's Chaplet rig utilizes twin racks with five-bomb payloads that can be quickly deployed during battle. It is additionally equipped with rear-facing manual turrets, front-facing laser cannons, and dual missile racks. The A1 swaps the cargo hold from the [C1 Spirit](https://robertsspaceindustries.com/galactapedia/article/01L2MB819w-c1-spirit) for a bay that can accommodate a small vehicle for ground-based operations.
