- Intent: Fancy new repulsorcraft for the Open Market; designed for skirmishing/scouting.
- Image Source: Glider by Exidium Corp.
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: AT-RT | STAP
- Manufacturer: The Globex Corporation
- Affiliation: Globex Security Division
- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: MV-R1 Dragonfly-series Repulsorglider
- Modularity: Aesthetic Alterations, Weapons Loadout (e.g., swap repeating blaster with slower but higher-yield laser cannon, swap mortars with more accurate rocket launchers at the expense of less munitions capacity), and warranty-breaking customisation.
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Tridurium-Betaplast Armouring, Plexalloy Cockpit, Agrinium-coated Visium Reactor, misc. repulsorcraft components.
- Classification: Repulsorcraft
- Role: Reconnaissance and Skirmishing
- Size: Average | 8.6 m (Length)
- Weight: Average
- Armaments: Average
- [1] High-Performance Repeating Blaster [360° Firing Arc]
- [4] Precision Mortar Launchers [Variable Warhead; Shared Munitions]
- 24 Mortar Shells, 16 Rockets, or a combination thereof.
- Defences: Low
- Lightweight Armouring
- Electronic Countermeasures
- Maneuverability Rating: High
- Speed Rating: Very High
- Propulsion: Repulsorlift
- Minimum Crew: One Driver.
- Optimal Crew: One Driver.
- Passenger Capacity: N/A
- Cargo Capacity: Very Small
- Exterior Compartment for Sniper Rifle or equivalent.
- Cockpit Compartments for basic supplies/small items.
- Ejector Seat Compartment for an emergency survival kit.
- May carry up to four Eyebots for enhanced reconnaissance.
- Dragonflies are Neurocrown-compatible; compatible droid drivers can make use of similar direct interfaces. Manual controls remain as a backup/option for those not comfortable with or trained to operate mind-machine interfaces. An inbuilt ejector seat can be trigger though neural command, emergency lever, or automatic response to reactor breach - single-use deflector shield increases driver survivability.
- Dragonflies sport reactors designed to use of high-grade Visium for operational longevity; the blaster draws from the same tank.
- Dragonflies are outfitted with targeting-scrambling Electronic Countermeasures as an alternative to heavier/pricier shielding.
- Dragonflies typically "glide" above the terrain at an altitude of 0.5 metres to 10 metres; safety features may be overridden.
- Dragonflies feature an integrated data-brain for the purposes of targeting, navigation, and more; slave-circuit possible.
- Dragonflies may be outfitted with anti-theft measures ranging from biometrics to code cylinder requirements.
- Dragonflies may be airdropped onto a battlefield or the equivalent from high altitudes; expect a rough ride.
- Speedster: Dragonflies are fast, agile, and responsive - especially to drivers making use of Neurocrowns.
- High-Tech: Dragonflies sport sophisticated droid-assisted aiming, targeting-scrambling ECM, and more.
- Avoidance: Dragonflies are built for skirmishing, not taking on larger vehicles head-on.
- High-Tech: Dragonflies have plenty of fancy tech - stay away from ion bolts and EMPs.
Commissioned by the Globex Corporation as part of its efforts to self-supply its own Security Division while also cornering some small part of the unbelievably vast arms market that defines a galaxy in a seemingly endless state of war, the Dragonfly is a characteristically sleek and efficient design. Built for speed over durability, it features only lightweight armouring but compensates with anti-targeting measures and agility.
Given how rarely the GSD is forced to engage anything even remotely resembling an organised military, there is little data on these vehicles' combat performance in such scenarios, though as always Gellenbright Securities and other mercenary groups are eager to find out.
As per usual, the Dragonfly may be manufactured by independents for their own use or resale in exchange for a licensing fee.
