==Description==
First created in [[2367]], the '''Strike Falcon''' was one the earliest Attack VTOLs enter service within the newly formed [[Capellan Confederation]]. The craft was first built as replacement for OT-12 Bird of Prey attack helicopter first employed by newly former [[Tikonov Grand Union]]. It would enter service in [[2371]], where the Strike Falcon would serve as infantry transport and fire-support VTOL for Confederation ground troops.

In its time, it was highly regarded by its operators and troops which it was supporting. By the dawn of the [[Star League era]] the aircraft was removed from military service and was demilitarized for civilian use.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', p. 9, 23, "Strike Falcon Attack VTOL's Background information".</ref>

The VTOL's main weaponry includes pair of 4-Tubed Short-Range Missiles with a singular machine gun mounted on its nose. While it side arcs includes a machine gun providing anti-infantry cover fire as it disembarks its payload of troops. Strike Falcon carries 1 ton of missiles and half ton of machine gun ammo for its weapons, while its [[Advanced Fire Control]] gives the weapons accurate targeting.

The craft's hull is protected with 1.7 tons of BAR-7 grade armor, enough to survive combat of the [[twenty-fourth century]]. The craft's Internal Combustion Engine is given enough fuel to allow it to travel 1,666 km.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Primitives, Volume 2'', p. 9, 23 - Strike Falcon Attack VTOL's Stats.</ref>
