==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...
