Hyena-class Heavy Droid Bomber, or Hyena-class Droid Bomber, was a product of Nakamura Industries before the Clone Wars. The Hyena-class was modified with heavier armour plating and more weapon systems which led it to being classified as a heavy bomber.
The bomber saw extensive combat during the Clone Wars and proved to be an excellent opponent against other droid bombers as well as competing with Republic bombers. The droid bomber was used as both a starfighter assault bomber and walker for supporting ground forces as well as acting as extra turrets on Republic starships, such as the Venator-class Heavy Star Destroyer.
