Technical and Historical Notes

The Heli combat aircraft patrols the skies over Orb, but they also function as personnel transports. Capable of VTOL (Vertical Take Off and Landing), it has accommodations for two pilots and is lightly armed with two machine cannons. The Heli can launch from land military bases and Aegis class sea battleships. As a light aircraft, the Heli is no match for the Earth Alliance's GAT-01 Strike Dagger, which is deployed in mass numbers during the Alliance's invasion of Orb in June C.E. 71.
