TITAN SECURITY: Private Military Contractor Codex

by SmokeTinyTom

TITAN SECURITY: Private Military Contractors. Vehicles, Equipment and Armour CODEX. UPDATE (07/02/2016): This CODEX is moving to the Supergirl category due to lack of material for the CHERUB Series. 03/08/2022: Still alive, just no drive to write.

2. Combat Aircraft

A/N: So this is my second "Chapter" of the TITAN SECURITY Codex. This will be Naval Vessels. Story will be out soon. Started work on it last week.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HALO OR SUPERGIRL (Bungie/343 Industries/Microsoft Studios/Ensemble Games and CBS Respectively)

Length: 132FT (40.3 M)
Wingspan: 112FT (34.2M)
Height: 38FT (11.7M)
Maximum Altitude: Exoatmospheric Transport

Engine: 4x Hydrogen-ICE Jet Turbine Capable of producing an Equivalent Thrust Output of 40,000LB's. Propulsion is done via 4x Nacelles in pairs. (A/N: This is a Larger than Normal Halo: Reach Version Pelican Dropship)

Maximum Speed: 2,407MPH (3,874KPH) [Exoatmospheric: 21,354MPH {34,366KPH}

Aircraft History: After the Human-Covenant War, the D-77/D-79 Pelicans were starting to show their considerable age. After the Introduction of the Red Wolf MBT, the Dropship was unable to lift it due to its size and weight. The Pigeon was designed primarily to carry heavier load but it was decided by the UNSC High Command that they should replace the Pelican completely with the new design. With the designs being largely based upon the Pelican, it shares the similar outlines to its predecessor, however, that's where the similarities end completely. The Pigeon can fly faster, haul heavier loads, transport more troops in now, is much more easy to both maintain and repair in the event of critical damage to the Aircraft. It also features an new Shielding system allowing it to soak up enormous amounts of damage from both Energy and Projectile weapons. Pilots recount their experiences for the rugged structure that had gotten them home. The two most widespread variants of the Pigeon are the Troop Carriers and the Heavy Gunships.

Developed using both Covenant, Forerunner and previous programs (Sabre and F-41 Broadswords) technologies to build the basis of the aircraft, with the steady amount of Forerunner Technologies being "Reclaimed" the program advanced decades in weeks. The Aircraft was soon put into testing and was immediately loved by the pilots and ground crew for its durability and simplicity. The test's had found that it out performed every other fighter in the UNSC and Sangheili Separatists Arsenal.

Maximum Altitude: Atmospheric Helicopter Gunship

Engine: 2x Hydrogen-ICE Turbines Capable of producing an Equivalent Thrust Output of 28,000LB's, 2x Enclosed Rotors for Lift, powered by 2x Hydrogen-ICE Turbines. Forward Propulsion is done via the Rotors tilting forwards slightly, Additionally 2x Turbines are also used for increasing the speed. (A/N: This is a Cross between the AV-22 Sparrowhawk from Halo: Wars and the Rotor design from the RDA's Helicopters in James Cameron's AVATAR. The Twin Booms are very similar to those used on the Vulture Gunship, used by the Imperial Navy/Imperial Guard Regiments.)

Maximum Speed: 755MPH (1215KPH)

Aircraft History: The AV-34/AHG Moa was built to provide, Close Air Support in Urban Environments. With the Twin Counter-Torque Rotors built into the Wings the same way the AV-22 Sparrowhawk had done, the Moa had an Increased Range and Maximum/Cruising Speed, internal launch pylons, larger Payload Capacity and stealth functions. This had made popular with Urban Combat Units, the ability to destroy Emplacements, Armour Units and Infantry alike, combined with its high manoeuvrability and speed. The Moa serves notably with many Planetary Garrisons as the Frontline CAS Platform of choice.

Aircraft History: The UH-288 Robin was the replacement for the UH-144 Falcon Transport Helicopter. However, unlike the Pelican and the Pigeon Troop Carriers, the Robin and the Falcon are very similar to each other. Both use the same Engine assembly, layout, and aesthetically. The differences between the two are size, range, speed, payload, transportation ability and durability, all of which, are in the Robin's favour.

Maximum Speed: Atmospheric: 3,300MPH (5,633KPH) [Exoatmospheric: 26,327MPH {42,369KPH}

Aircraft History: The F-52/HFB Gurkha was built to replace the ageing GA-TL1 Longsword C712 Interceptor as a Heavy Interceptor, however, with the Interceptor Role being assigned to smaller, faster and just as capable Fighters, the Gurkha was designated as a Heavy Fighter-Bomber. Its new purpose was to escort heavier bomber types to their targets in Exoatmospheric combat at distances that a Falchion couldn't match. They are also used in their own Strike Missions on Enemy Positions, Targets-of-Opputunity and High Value Targets. Gurkhas are capable of launching the Redapo Shaped Fusion-Plasma Missile, nicknamed the "Plasma Spear."
