- The V/STOL Wyvern Assault and Recon airship is a lightly armored airship that it primarily utilized for recon missions and assault missions, helping in escorting larger airship vessels and acting as air-support for large battalions of the ground-based army of Griffin War Solutions. The aircraft can only carry a maximum of a squadron of soldiers, making it ineffective for usage as a dropship vessel and long-range transport vessel. Instead of acting as a transport vessel, the Wyvern makes effective use of its numerous variants to help support the private army of the GWS when it is deployed to help out an organization who bought the loyalty of the GWS for a combat engagement.
- The vessel makes use of a primarily turbine-based propulsion system, cutting back on the need of ion thrusters and liquid fuel entirely. Though these turbine engines are relatively ineffective in atmospheres that are thick and dense which is when the ion propulsion engine is utilized in conjunction with the turbine propulsion system to try and maximize overall efficiency despite bad atmospheric conditions.
- The vessel makes use of three separate and distinctive variants. The first of which is the 'Viper' loadout. The viper loadout consists of an armament mostly comprised of light and heavy machine guns, sacrificing overall firepower for an increase of speed, a slight increase in speed that is, not an overly large nor significant speed increase. The second and most well-rounded variant of the Wyvern is the 'Python.' The python, being the standard loadout that the Wyvern aircraft use's utilizes a loadout combined of both machine guns and rockets and missiles to give a rather well-off and adequately offensive weapon selection for use by the aircraft. The third and most powerful loadout is the 'King Cobra.' This weapon selection consists of mainly rocket launchers and missile launchers, trading off a fast flying speed with that of heavy weaponry and artillery to act as a 'heavy ordnance' and 'heavy support' aircraft to take out enemy infantry, vehicles, and aircraft.
