A bombardier was the crew member responsible for initiating the release of bombs on an MG-100 StarFortress SF-17. In the Resistance, Nix Jerd held the position of bombardier on the bomber called Cobalt Hammer, while Edon Kappehl worked as the bombardier on the Crimson Hailstorm.
The Galactic Empire's TIE/sk x1 experimental air superiority fighter carried ArmaTek VL-61/79 proton bombs. These bombs were launched through a proton bomb chute that was connected to the starfighter's armored hull, and sometimes a bombardier/gunner was a part of the crew.
