------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ==Overview:== After the sales of the Werewolf started to go down, Karnvo Aerospace Limited saw that they needed something to bring their stock back up and keep them in business. Turning to several different sources and gaining the support of several of the different factions at work with in the Co-Alliance goverenment, the company soon had more money and was able to being work on their new weapons system.
The idea behind this was simple, a fast, hard hitting attack VTOL. Simple, or so they thought. Three years of design and testing brought them no closer to finishing and when several of the factions that had given support to Karnvo came calling, the board of directors tossed them the Kexua KA-89.
This VTOL while impressive on the speed and armor, has a very limited load out of weapons. The use of newier weapons technology was suppose to be a boone for the company, and they went some of the best that money could buy. The KPMVT 20 Light AC/2 was among one of the best of the newier class of light autocannons coming on the market. The best thing about this was it fight the bill for Karnvo in both weight and cost. The main long range weapon or so it's billed by Karnvo is the SwanSong Free Flight LR DFM-5. Going with the idea that the speed of the Kexua would allow it to get in and ravage it's target and get away with out any major damage coming to it.
Seeing that it had very little choice but to take what was given to them, the CAAF has reluctently begun to station the Kexua on worlds that only thing that might be of a threat is raiders and rebels.

Plinker from hell! Plinker from Hell! aaaAAHH!!
This thing reeks of holding tactics Karagin, have you been looking at the 3025 Warrior? Seriously, that was built around an AC/2 with an SRM 4 for back up.
Other then that, seems quite good if used in its correct capacity.

Because the RAC didn't work out to well in the playtesting, it jammed up.

I agree, but then it's part of the balance thing.
As the fluff says they had three years to testing things and then sold the CAAF something that it didn't order...
