Early snubfighters with bi-wings served as rudimentary starfighters conceived in the era of the Pius Dea Crusades. These craft saw action on both sides of the conflict, utilized by the Pius Dea Republic Navy as well as their adversaries, throughout a thousand years of internal conflicts and holy wars.
These snubfighters engaged in aerial battles within planetary atmospheres and delivered close air support to ground troops during the battles that engulfed worlds situated towards the Rim during the Crusades. The Pius Dea rationalized their crusades against alien species as sacred undertakings aimed at establishing order over disarray and acquiring riches and concealed knowledge.
