After the sucessful integration of its multi-role fighter in the Celtayoshi Air Force, engineers where tasked to develop a long range bomber.
The result of many years painstaking work a long range bomber capapable of fulfilling the needs of the CYAF.

After its final test there were handshakes and hugs all round the new bomber had sucessfully destroyed the enemy, in this case a disused 'SAM' which was stationed 15 miles of Celtayoshi's main coastline. The Air Force arranged its press release.

A small stage an podium were set up, with the aircraft hidden behing a curtain. The Air Commander, AC G. Mylitan stepped up.

"Ladies and gentlement, i give you the CY-B1:
