Vehicle:Adder Gunship

The Adder Gunship is an African designed craft that is a heavy gunship/dropship that is utilized by the African Economic Alliance and its affiliated member nations.

Design
A heavily armed and armored gunship, the Adder is built to take tons of damage and dish it out. Its heavy armor and shielding allows it take multiple blows, as well as cut back on active ECM, making it affordable. It can serve as either a heavy dropship, or dish out heavy damage as a large gunship.

Its wings bristle with heavy missile pods and large cannons that fire a variety of ordnance at enemy units below it. Its massive engine block and turbine allow it to get moderate speed for a gunship, and the turbine allow it to go VTOL and hover over a combat zone.

It has several side mounted ball turrets on it to allow the craft to hit targets around it in all directions. It also has a large undermounted chin cannon.

To cut back on exspense, the craft relies heavily on its armor and shielding, opting for passive ECM and light active ECM. It also does not come with a hyperdrive by default, but one can be installed to allow the ship to go through hyperpsace. It does have radiation shielding, allowing it to fight in deep space.

Its rugged and efficient allows it to fight anywhere. Couple that with the ease of modifying it, the African Economic Alliance has created a top notch gunship.
