Also mentioned was the development of a new laser based weapon by Howliser.

News from the Dominion:

A new plane has been revealed at the Atlantis Air Show, in the capital of the Dominion. Little is known about the plane, and all the DWLAF is saying that the photo taken a few years before is the a picture of the aircraft. It was flown in from an unknown base, and the DWLAF also has said that the plane has been in service "for at least five years." Here is a picture:

Since it is too big to be a fighter, too small a tanker, and becasue of it's radical design, it is rumored to be space capable. The Air Force has been rumored to be working on a spaceplane project, but it was never said if this is that plane or not. The DWLAF wouldn't release any more information on the plane, except that the four weapons that can be seen on the body are indeed the laser weapons that have been developed by Howliser.
