Description[edit]
Turning to OmniPod technology to meet myriad requirements of the Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces Quartermaster Corps, the Zugvogel Omni Support Aircraft can be configured for almost any support role.[1]
Relying on a large number of fixed-wing support craft to maintain the massive logistical supply train of the Lyran military, the LAAF/LCAF Quartermaster Corps utilized a considerable volume of Lockheed/CBM's King Karnov in a seemingly endless array of variants to meet numerous roles. Attempting to simplify and streamline its manufacturing lines in the manner of the Morgenstern OmniFighter's replacement of three aerospace fighters, Lockheed/CBM again turned to modular omni construction to develop a single design capable of meeting as many roles as possible.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
Built using an Edasich commercial-grade fusion engine, making it twenty-five percent faster than the King Karnov, the Zugvogel mounts eleven and half tons of military-grade armor, and carries advanced fire control and CASE as standard. Featuring a whopping seventy-one and half tons of pod space, the Zugvogel can be modified for nearly any mission an army could come up with.[1]
The Zugvogel's primary configuration is that of a heavily armed combat transport, carrying a forward facing pair of LRM-15s, two light AC/2s and a medium pulse laser, supported by a light Gauss rifle mounted aft. Reserving twenty-two and half tons for cargo space, five tons of LRM missiles, two tons of light AC ammo and one of light Gauss reloads complement four heat sinks.[1]
Alternate Configurations[edit]
- Alternate Configuration A
- An aerial command post, the Zugvogel A mounts a hi-res imager on the front, rear and each side along with a hyperspectral imager, infrared imager camera, look-down radar, all linked to a command console, C3 master computer and an extensive communications array. Armed only defensively, a pair of LB 2-X autocannons are mounted aft, with a single forward facing medium variable speed pulse laser. Three tons of LB-X autocannon reloads and seven heat sinks are more than enough for its noncombat role. BV (2.0) = 645[1] or 712[3]
- Alternate Configuration B
- A field hospital configuration, the Zugvogel B mounts a ten-theater MASH unit, paramedic equipment, field kitchen and powerful searchlights to illuminate the area when grounded. A fifty ton light vehicle bay for rescue jeeps and ambulances, and a four-ton infantry bay round out this configuration. BV (2.0) = 645[1] or 570[4]
- Alternate Configuration C
- A mobile repair based configuration, the Zugvogel C, is equipped with two mobile field repair bases, lift hoist and searchlight. A twenty-ton storage bay for parts and a twelve-ton infantry bay fill the remaining space. BV (2.0) = 518[1] or 570[5]
- Alternate Configuration D
- The so-called Raubvogel, the D configuration, is an aerial gunship intended to defend its fellow craft capable of frightening even the bravest aerojock, mounting twin Gauss rifles, a heavy PPC and rocket launcher 10 forward, with an Ultra AC/2 mounted aft. Seven tons of Gauss reloads, two of Ultra AC ammo and fifteen heat sinks give the D reasonable field endurance. BV (2.0) = 1,444[1] or 2,022[6]
- Alternate Configuration E
- This version carried four anti-missile systems, with two covering the nose and aft arc. It also carries a pair of MML-5s in the nose and a rotary AC/2 covers the aft arc. A Guardian ECM suite provides electronic warfare support. The RAC/2 covers the main exit hatch which opens onto a forty-eight ton infantry bay. BV (2.0) = 1,038[7] or 1,028[8]
- Alternate Configuration F
- Introduced in the Dark Age era, this Zugvogel is equipped with an advanced fire control system to operate five Clan-built LRM-15s, two Thunderbolt-20 launchers, and three medium chemical lasers. Each wing mounts a single LRM launcher, and the chemical lasers cover the aft arc of the Zugvogel. The rest of the weaponry is carried in the nose. BV (2.0) = 2,894[9][10]
- Unnamed Alternate Configuration
- The Republic of the Sphere put out a request to Lockheed-CBM for an OmniPod that could carry a full company of battle armor.[11]
