STRENGTHS

• Straight-Run Precision Attack: Designed for direct attack runs, its stabilized targeting systems allow pilots to unload their payloads with high accuracy, perfect for tank columns, entrenched defenses, and high-value targets.
• Reliable and Easy to Maintain: Unlike high-performance starfighters, the Pegasus is built for endurance and durability, meaning it can take damage and still return to base, with a simplified repair process to get back in the fight quickly.
• Resistant to Electronic Warfare: Its hardened avionics and countermeasures make it difficult to jam, hack, or disable via EMP, ensuring it can stay functional even in disrupted combat zones.
• Combat-Proven Redundancies: Engineered to keep flying even when damaged, it features backup flight controls, auxiliary power rerouting, and emergency repulsorlift assists, ensuring it can limp back to base even with heavy damage.
• Devastating Anti-Ground Firepower: The Pegasus D-6AV is a flying tank buster, delivering overwhelming firepower with its LO-AVAC rotary autocannon, LO-14C laser cannons, and LO-33L missile systems—designed to shred armored vehicles, fortifications, and mechanized infantry in seconds.

WEAKNESSES

• Slower Than Dedicated Fighters: While fast for a gunship, the Pegasus isn't built for speed, making it an easy target for enemy interceptors or long-range anti-aircraft fire if caught in open airspace.
• Vulnerable to Air Superiority Fighters: this ship isn't meant for dogfighting—any starfighter optimized for air-to-air combat can easily chase it down and destroy it unless it has escort protection.
• No Dedicated Anti-Air Weaponry: While devastating to ground targets, the Pegasus struggles against enemy aircraft, relying on maneuvers, countermeasures, or allied support rather than direct engagement.
• Large Heat Signature: Its heavy weapons and reinforced engines produce significant heat, making it easier for infrared-guided missiles and enemy sensors to detect and lock on.
• Requires Straight Attack Runs: To maximize damage, the Pegasus must make direct attack passes—this means it has to commit to its approach, making it predictable and vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire, shields, or flak turrets.
• Defensive Measures Are Limited: While chaff and flares help against missiles, it lacks energy-based countermeasures like jammers or cloaking, meaning coordinated anti-air defenses can overwhelm it.
• Weak to Swarm Attacks: The 6AV excels at destroying vehicles and fortifications, but it cannot fend off large groups of fast-moving enemies, such as multiple starfighters or agile speeders with high-explosive weapons.
• Heavily Dependent on Resupply: Due to its ammunition-heavy attack style, it can burn through its payload quickly, requiring frequent rearmament between sorties—longer fights may leave it under-equipped for engagements.
• Limited Role Outside of CAS: While invaluable for ground support, the Pegasus isn't suited for space superiority or interception missions, meaning it must rely on allied forces to control the skies while it does its job.

DESCRIPTION
The Pegasus D-6AV is a highly specialized close air support (CAS) gunship, designed by Lilaste Manufactories aboard Aurora Station to deliver overwhelming firepower against armored vehicles, entrenched fortifications, and mechanized infantry. With a compact yet robust frame, this low-flying aerial tank buster combines precision attack capabilities, heavy armament, and battlefield endurance, making it an essential tool for ground operations in need of dedicated air support.
