The large amount of fuel, along with extremely clean aerodynamics and the extremely efficient CHI T33 engines equipped with specially-designed large-diameter propellers, allowed extreme endurance, being able to patrol for over 24 hours, then strike a target over 3000 km away

The A-29 was the crowning achievement of Imperial aeronautics in the wake of the Great War, being the largest aircraft ever designed in Serenity when it first flew in 952. Every plane could carry six "Fire Lance" nuclear-tipped cruise missiles, eight "Blue Duck" decoys, along with 185 tons of fuel

The Imperial Navy wishes for punishing, powerful salvos, therefore accommodations are made for the carriage of eight Kinglets in two rows of water-tight containers at the sides of the pressure hull. Targeting from the missiles is either through offboard coordinates supplied by MPAs, or by sonar

The logical choice for the boat's armament would be the Mk.II Kinglet anti-ship missile; it is a large (around five tons!) pulsejet-propelled weapon with a 500 mm shaped charge warhead, capable of covering 230 km at a speed of 400 kts.
