The Cavalry Attack Helicopter was introduced service in 3054, by Michaelson Heavy Industries. The helicopter was designed for hit-and-run engagements rather than frontline combat situations. This was due in part of its ammunition supply running low in prolonged battles.
The helicopter was deployed initially in Armed Forces of the Federated Commonwealth, where the design performed flawless in service despite its limitation. It went on to perform well during the during the FedCom Civil War.
The Cavalry has seen service since seen in both former FedCom States and minor-nobles among the Chaos March.
