Description[edit]
The Koi heavy transport (WiGE) was produced by Wakazashi Enterprises in the mid thirty-first century as part of Coordinator Theodore Kurita's reforms to bring the Draconis Combine transportation infrastructure to modern standards.[1][2]
The Koi is the flagship of Wakazashi's efforts to do its part for the Combine. The heavy transport was seen as a large improvement for the economy's need for fast cargo-capable vehicles. In 3061, Koi's production line was temporarily halted due to a fire at the plant. The officials with Wakazashi suspected that their rivals at Pesht Motors were behind what they felt was sabotage. However, production continued and the craft was widely accepted by civilian corporations and planetary militias who recognized the WiGE vessel as a means to move equipment around without the use of expensive DropShips.[1][2]
After the Jihad ended, Kervil became part of The Republic of the Sphere and hosted the main production line of the Koi, the Ryu, and the Nishikigoi WiGEs. The Republic Armed Forces, therefore, had access to these vehicles.[4]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Koi has a cargo capacity of 123.5 tons, with doors front and back. The craft has been equipped with an amphibious chassis, which allows it to float and unload its cargo if need be from the water's edge. The vehicle is protected by three tons of BAR 6 grade commercial armor.
Variants[edit]
- Ryu heavy transport
- Wakazashi, seeing the Koi's popularity with planetary militia increase, created an armed and slightly up-armored version of the Koi.[citation needed]
- Nishikigoi
- The production version of the prototype listed below, this Koi variant uses the same Thunderbolt launchers and engine supercharger. The armor, however, has been upgraded to seven tons of BAR 10 armor, and the chaff pods have been replaced by a pair of anti-missile systems. To make room for these changes, the cargo capacity was reduced to 51 tons and the communication equipment was removed. This makes the production Nishikigoi a well-armored cargo ship that can deliver its cargo into hostile areas and provide some fire support, as well. BV (2.0) = 2,017[5]
Custom Variants[edit]
- Nishikigoi
- Based on the Koi, the Nishikigoi is best described as a unique experimental variant. This ship, an extensively armed transport, was employed on the world of Kaumberg in 3074. The craft has 5.5 tons of BAR 8 commercial armor and four turret-mounted Thunderbolt 10 launchers. It also has been given four chaff pods mounted on the rear sides of the aircraft. The Nishikigoi's cargo capacity was reduced from the Koi's 123.5 tons to only 81.5 tons. Its engine has been given a supercharger, which increased the craft's speed. Also, the ship can be employed as a command ship, using its eight tons of communication equipment. BV (2.0) = 1,524[6]
Design Quirks[edit]
The Nishikigoi (Koi) variant is subject to the following Design Quirks:[5]
Notes[edit]
- As of this writing, there are no record sheets for this support vehicle. However, XTRO: Boondocks does include a record sheet for the Nishikigoi custom variant.
