Two aircraft belonging to the UCEDF (Human faction: United Colonies of Earth Defence Force)



Spoiler
HAC-266 Mosquito

An innovation around the time of the Exilion Wars, the Mosquito was designed alongside the Dragonfly for multi-use on multiple worlds. It was initially manufactured by NASARC, before the contracts were scrapped with the emergence of craft like the Challenger, though Rogue Suppliers would manufacture black market models for decades to come, keeping a steady supply of these helicopters in service among underfunded militias alongside the aforementioned cousin. The refinements to create those in rogue territories in line with cheaper, more efficient materials meant that the versions in use by 2600 were able to carry twice the payload due to half the weight of the first versions thanks to sacrificing the ancient fossil fuel system for a fission battery and thus reducing the weight. In the 2650’s, these craft would be replicated by the UCE after the loss of advanced technology factories. It can carry 3 operators, one pilot and two gunners.

Ordnance-
H3VM machine gun x2- Gunner 1+2
MJOLNIR laser (Pilot)
150x WASP Missile (Gunner 1)
150x HYDRACORE missile (Gunner 2)
2x Spectre 40mm cannons (Pilot)



Spoiler
RCF-647 Challenger (Repulsorcraft Fighter)

The Challenger is a small fighter designed as a replacement of the previous generation ships like the Bulldog and Puma. It uses magnetic repulsion in lieu of traditional engines to accelerate to incredible speeds in atmosphere, using standard propulsion in space. It also has nanoplate armour and optical camouflage systems, alongside being able to carry hundreds of missiles and change cannons between 30mm,40mm,Laser and even Banshee on a whim.
The back thrusters of the Challenger can be turned when necessary to be able to propel in almost any direction.

Being produced by NASARC only a few years before the Fall of Earth, the Challenger would never see widespread manufacture and usage due to its material cost, though small amounts would be used to guard Exodus and other HVT’s throughout the war, eventually leading the invasion of Earth.

And this one is a S'pher Venus-Class destroyer. Ignore the labelling on the image, those were done before I decided on antimatter weaponry for the S'pher and as such, they do not use missiles. Also, photobucket doesn't like me rotating the image. Also ignore the fuckin huge engine plume that I drew because I went crazy with fire.



Spoiler
First sighted at the destruction of the Aerostat Colonies of Venus, this destroyer comprises the bulk of the S'pher navy, able to teravel in atmosphere and space. It has three AM beams on the wings, with numerous point defence turrets around the hull. These turrets can form at will, making it impossible to track how many there are.

The first two are standard enough for what they are, the last one looks cool, it's an interesting design.
