The Burner was the most numerous blimp used by Nova Evropan forces in the attempted conquest of the Iberian Peninsula. This fairly unassuming, high-endurance's aircraft was principally used within NE-controlled lands to link the fortified Citadels where the Citizen caste live with the outside world and to dominate the surrounding areas.

Burners are also used to deploy novice Citizens behind enemy frontlines to slaughter and pillage smaller settlements as part of a broader terror campaign. This practice is also used with Citizens in the last stage of the agoge on Nova Evropan lands, where the targets are Squatter settlements. These raids notably are used to kidnap European women as "war-brides", the capture of one for each member of the troop being a prerequisite for graduation.

Squatters themselves are a population surrounded by Nova Evropan forces, composed of either non-Europeans or "dissolute" Europeans and mixed-race people. Of these groups, the second are the only ones who can actually join Nova Evropa, which demands a "proof of loyalty" that involves committing horrific murders against their former communities.

The Burner themselves are representative of the methods: not only are the raw materials for Nova Evropan gasbags partly made from the guts of dead enslaved Squatters worked to death, but said gasbags are representative of the overall treatment of Squatter bodies: raw materials unworthy of ceremony or respect and to be fed either to the industry, or to their still-living inmates.

While the raids initially proved to be brutal, they had a lower effect than expected due to the CIR's otherwise underwhelming militias being fairly readily adapted to quickly respond to Burner raids. While this was initially compensated for by raiding in larger groups with better weaponry; improved alert systems, the work of night fighters and settlement fortification would eventually end the threat.

This aircraft's payload is typical of raiders over the CIR, where a fraction would carry bombs instead of a full complement in order to attack diversionary targets. These aircraft would usually carry a reduced complement or, in bombing-only missions only enough crew for it's door guns. These would progressively replace aerial sacking as the war went on as actually landing became more and more perilous for both the initiates and the landed blimps.
