Scorpion Gunship- is a VTOL ducted fan rotor, Mosquito-class targeting and missile launch platform. Outfitted to escort troop landings and ambush, close air fire support for military operations and air support.The Scorpion Gunship was built for use as terrorists and insurgents had gained access to EMP (Electromagnetic pulse) weaponry to counter drones and other combat machines used by the military, whose combat hulls and external electronics were hardened against EMP weaponry. However, the "soft" CPU remained vulnerable, short-circuiting and leaving the drone both harmless and helpless in the field of combat. (PI) realized it needed a manned attack craft to negate the obvious disadvantages that would come with the short-circuiting of a drone's CPU, in that a human would remain unaffected by EMP weaponry, while the Scorpion's hardened hull would remain steadfast and flying.
Crew
The AT-99 Scorpions is controlled by a single pilot. The pilot must coordinate what is happening with and around the aircraft, control and fire weapons, operate communications and navigation.
Weapons/Armament
The gunships lack the basic cargo-carrying capacity and side-door guns, but more than compensate for this with superior frontal firepower, while not lacking in impressive speed, agility and maneuverability.
The Scorpion has two forward-mounted stub pylons that are armed with four gimbal-mounted 22mm guns with 700 rounds per minute cyclic rate of fire as close-range primary weapons. It carries two gun-type weapons, two dual 50 cal. Machine Guns and two triple 20mm Gatling Guns. The Scorpion has two pairs of huge stub-wing pylons to carry its armament of 150 TK-411 WAFAR (Wrap-Around Fin Aerial Rocket) in ten 15-tube rocket launchers. The use of the rocket varies according to the warhead that can range from tactical applications to impact-based sensor systems. Eight Hawk eye HELL FIRE (Helicopter Launched Fire-and-Forget), are used to engage air-to-air targets in conjunction with the nose-mounted sensor suite.
Titan Battle Tank- The T-740 used in current service by Atlas. With four separate tracks as a mode of travel, with all four capable of moving independently giving more free rang of motion and faster reaction time. Top speed forward 60 MPH backward 45 making it very quick and able to catch many vehicles with gross vehicle speed alone.
The cabin of the T-740 was much more spacious than conventional tank due to it's larger turret. Having room for 4 seats, comfortably spread apart. The commander sits at the controls of the tank in the middle of the turret, while other crew members sit beside him/her.
As for weaponry, the T-740 is equipped with dual rocket pods mounted on either sides of the cockpit which launched homing rockets capable of targeting multiple groups of infantry; this is complemented by a smooth-bore main gun. Below the main gun is a separate EMP cannon capable of taking down aircraft with a singe shot. Also, a Trophy System provided defense from incoming projectiles such as missiles and cannon fire.
