HT-Skyfish
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
Skyfish is a heavily modified C130 Cargo plane deployed by The Hemlock Organization. Despite its rotary design and apparent lack of agility, the Skyfish is a deadly piece of machinery sporting six concealed 80mm turrets and modified engines.
[edit] Engines
The maximum speed on Rotors is only slightly higher then a standard C130, but when in danger or need the Skyfish withdraws the props and the engines reveal their true nature as a form of highly advanced jet propulsion system. With a light load and Jet configuration the Skyfish has been recorded exceeding Mach 9. ((creators note: i may be a bit off on my calculations here, so if that like... exceeds light speed or something dumb like that please do correct me. XD ))
[edit] Structure
Skyfish has been struck by hostile fire on a handful of recorded occasions, but has never suffered extensive damage as it is always seen again soon undamaged. To withstand the speeds and maneuvers it is capable the hull must be very heavily modified.
[edit] Weaponry
- Port, Starboard, Tail, nose, Dorsal, and Belly turrets are all concealed inside Skyfish. At need each 80mm cannon is capable of extending from the hull and firing on nearby targets. Often the Skyfish will make passes over hostile locations to shower defended points with a high RoF volley of steel.
- Skyfish is equiped with Chaff among other standard countermeasures.
- Each wing appears to house multiple warheads (this has lead to speculation about fuel storage)
- On three occasions Skyfish has displayed a belly mounted turret behind the 80mm capable of launching small artillery rounds.
