Vehicle Name: Persecuatur Multi-Role Craft

Faction: Patrian Military

Height: 5m / 16'

Length: 17m / 55'

Wingspan: 18m / 58'

Physical Appearance:

Weight:
14,000kg / 30,800lbs unloaded
16,500kg / 36,300lbs combat loaded

Power Systems: Micro-Fusion Grav Train, Negotis Heavy Industries (NHI)

Type: Multi-Role combat aircraft, low-orbit insertion capable.

Abilities: It's strong airframe can survive direct hits from armour-piercing and high-explosive projectiles up to 30mm. The Persecuatur has triple redundancy in it's flight systems, with mechanical systems to back up and double-redundant hydraulic systems. This permits pilots to fly and land when hydraulic power or part of a wing is lost.

Speed: 850 kph / 530 mph.

Defensive Systems: Hydroxyapatite Flexible Chitin skin (next-generation semi-organic material). The fuselage's shape is intended to defeat RADAR and LIDAR systems, and the micro-fusion power supply defies heat-seeking weapons. Active and passive ECM systems further counter guided weaponry.

Crew: 1 pilot, 1 gunner.

Levels: Cockpit.

Equipment: Radar, LIDAR, Active ECM, Passive ECM, laser comms system, broad-band radio comms, Multi-spectrum imaging suite, laser designation, Active Digital Camo System.

Cargo Hold: 9 Weapon system hard points on the wings and body.

Weapon Systems: .

Hardpoints: Modular, dependent on mission requirements. Air-to-Surface (anti armour, anti infantry, anti structure. Guided or unguided, bombs / scatterable bomblettes, etc)

Main gun: SELS (sustained-emission laser system), Eruditio Advanced Industries (EAI). Fires a 150 kilowatt laser in five-second bursts, creating a cutting line capable of burning through armour. The thermal radiation of the beam can destroy 'soft targets' (ie: infantry, soft-skinned vehicles) within 5 meters of the beam, with the damage growing rapidly less sever the further from the beam the soft-skinned targets are.

Maximum Effective Range: 3.5 km / 2 miles.

Rate Of Fire: Can fire a 5-second beam every 4 seconds.

Payload: The SELS is capable of 173 shots 5-second shots.

History: The Persecuator is a very recent addition to the Patrian military, based off technologies acquired from the humans of Earth and other allied races. It is heavily influenced by the design of the A10 'Warthog', both in airframe design and combat role. In the aftermath of the war with the machine fleet, it was decided that a 'conventional' armed force was required.
