New Crow Helicopter Soars into DCMS Arsenal
[10 December 3069; VotD] Even as the Combine shoulders the brunt of the Word of Blake offensive, loyal corporations are rallying to the Dragon’s side and providing the tools our valiant soldiers need to throw the Blakist villains from our worlds. Even as Luthien is caught in the hellfires of the Jihad, other words are stepping forward to keep the Dragon alive.
On New Samarkand, Yan Manufacturing has drawn expertise from their parent corporation, Luthien Armor Works, to transform the Soar search and rescue craft into the Crow Scout VTOL, a swift spotter helicopter that will allow the fury of the Dragon’s response to stay on-time and on-target in the harshest battles.
The Crow is a high-tech spotter, carrying target acquisition gear to designate targets and a powerful Beagle Active Probe to reveal enemies attempting to hide. To protect itself and interfere with enemy operations, the Crow also carries a jamming Guardian ECM Suite. A pair of advanced lasers give the fusion-powered VTOL a way of defending itself.
The first production run on New Samarkand is nearly complete, and already more than seventy-five percent of them are slated for DCMS units such as the Ryuken and even the elite Genyosha. A second production run has been announced publicly, but reports from component manufacturers have revealed orders large enough to support a third and even fourth run. It seems clear that the DCMS intends the Crow to become a staple of their light, fast forces.
