ADVANCED SYSTEMS

• Automated Weaponry System: This gunship has an automated weapons computer. This computer is equipped with a state of the art targeting system that is keyed into the Illyrian/Confederacy IFF network. When online the targeting system uses communications signals, thermal readings, and weaponry scanners to promptly identify any threats to the gunship or nearby friendly units. It will then identify the most effective weaponry to dispatch the enemy and automatically engage after receiving confirmation from the ship's master gunner. The automated weaponry system is outfitted with a MFTAS to better help identify targets in difficult visibility and at long ranges.
• EMP Self Detonation: The pilot of the ship can activate a protocol that allows the ship to detonate an internal EMP. This pulse will effectively wipe the ship's datacomputer as well as send out an ION wave that will effect most electronic systems within a half-mile radius.

STRENGTHS

• Advanced Armament Capabilities: This ship is outfitted with a weapons system meant to target, disable, and eliminate enemy infantry units. The weapon system can be manually utilized or set into an auto-targeting mode for optimal performance. It is hard to trick and exceptionally lethal.
• Good Handling: The Viper Gunship is a sleek gunship, capable of maneuvers that some would find difficult.

WEAKNESSES

• Slow Gunship: The Viper Gunship was never designed to be an exceptionally fast ship, it can be considered among the slowest of ships in the Illyrian Air Corp & Navy.
• Low Squadron Count: Viper Gunships are often dispatched in low numbers. When utilized on the planet they are seldom dispatched in anything more then teams of four.

DESCRIPTION
The primary support vessel of the Illyrian Air Corp, the Viper Gunship is a primarily planet-side vessel that is utilized to support the Illyrian Infantry. The gunship was designed to effectively and promptly eliminate threats and other infantry unit. Although the gunship does not pack any particularly heavy armaments, the weaponry system it is outfitted with makes it ideal for dealing with enemy infantry teams and causing havoc in mass army formations. Although the ship is slow moving, it is capable of negotiating extremely difficult terrain and executing more complex maneuvers. Each ship is outfitted with a pilot, co-pilot, primary gunner, and secondary gunner. Aside from those four positions the ships are incapable of carrying any other personnel. There is a small cargo area for repair parts, as the secondary gunner is also the ship's only field engineer he is tasked with maintaining the ship when it is in the theater of battle
