Adjutant

The Adjutant is an airship owned and operated by Lucina Panzier. Originally a stolen Ibaalin war prototype, the huntress has modified and modernized the airship to compete with modern day aircraft and threats.

Appearance
Like all aircraft of Ibaalin design, the Adjutant takes after bombers and other aircraft from the Second World War of our real world. Its old fashioned dieselpunk furnishings however, betray the advanced technology Lucina has installed.

The main fuselage is quite spacious, enough to fit an infirmary and war room. Near the back of the aircraft are three berth areas, each with room for two to comfortably sleep in addition to heat equipment for cooking. Below that is the ship's hold and armory.

An auxiliary hold is below the mid-section. This area is normally used as a brig for capture operations, but still maintains the bomb bay doors from the original design.

The fuselage sits within two rings to which the large wings are attached. In-flight, the wings can revolve a full 360 degrees around the fuselage allowing the Adjutant incredible banking capabilities and a maneuverability not seen by many aircraft on Remnant. Using the same technology behind transforming Huntsman weapons, the Adjutant's wings can adapt their shape to maintain Bernoulli's Principle.

Armament and Propulsion
In its original form, the adjutant was armed with four 30mm chainguns. Two facing forward, two facing back. A pair of 125mm rifles were mounted on the ends of the wings with 360 degrees traverse and up to 30 degrees of angling. A pair of 75mm rocket launchers lived near the tail of the ship. The vessel was equipped with 3 standard-issue wind dust engines of Ibaalin design.

The modern form has replaced much of the original weapons with Flagg Institute technology. 4 Kondracki-Meija Integrators replace the chainguns of old and the 125mm rifles now utilize microwave cannons for maximum carnage. The 75mm launchers no longer use conventional missiles; twin Leighly-Braun Manifolds 3D-print warheads and attach them to guidance systems and engines.

Flagg-made G-Engines improve the Adjutant's fuel efficiency, stealth factor, and make an already hyper-maneuverable airship even deadlier. With a service ceiling of 70000 feet and max speed of Mach 2.5, the Adjutant ranks up there with Remant's other high-performance aircraft.

Defensive Equipment
The adjutant's frame and armor has been re-constructed with Titanium-graphene for maximum durability, even under the most incredible combat stresses. A radar-absorbent refractive coating and phased-optic arrays allow for optical camouflaging of the aircraft. Various sensor jammers are also onboard and with the low-heat signature of the G-Engines, heatseeking weapons are virtually useless.

In case anything is fired at the aircraft, it is equipped with microwave ECM panels to destroy the electronics of any incoming missiles and defend against Grimm who fly too close.

Backstory

 * Originally Ibaalin prototype during the I-S War, a young 23 year old Lucina was contracted to assist a commando team in stealing it.
 * Original pilot was killed; only Lucina left as qualified pilot, fell in love with the way it handled.
 * Post-war, Sahale federation could never figure out how to properly fly the vessel. Relevant research data was gathered, aircraft marked for disposal.
 * Aircraft recovered by Sahlae Air Marshal Lin Hong-Shan, hidden in mother's farm and re-furbished.
 * After Lucina divorced first husband, was presented to her in lieu of engagement ring.
