Raven Type-A Light Dropships

The Raven is a high speed light transport, able to conduct operations far ahead of the main force. Its primary role is to drop scout units quietly near targets of opportunity, often behind enemy lines. Its small size and high manoeuvrability makes it extremely capable in the tight, urban dropzones which may preclude the use of its lumbering cousins.

The Raven’s high combat speed and small size does, however, come at the cost of low protection. Prudent commanders only utilise its talents in the manner for which it was designed, avoiding frontline operations.

The Raven-A has a capacity of 10 infantrymen. It is also equipped with smoke launchers to screen disembarking infantry from hostile fire. When there are time critical objectives waiting to be taken, there is no better choice of transport.
