More than just a simple camera helicopter, the Sky Eye includes enough equipment to essentially function as a flying news studio, though its future looked bleak from the outset due to its lackluster reception at first. However, the start of the [[FedCom Civil War]] soon after proved to be a godsend for the Sky Eye, as news organizations in the [[Federated Commonwealth]] bought it up to report on the conflict. Sky Eyes helped document much of the fighting, including the ''[[Rénard Reportage]]'' coverage of the fighting on [[New Avalon]], even as pilots had to scramble to get the best footage. Foreign sales also quickly picked up until, by [[3070]], the Sky Eye was being used by [[ComStar]]'s [[Interstellar News Network]] and many news organizations in every [[Successor State]].<ref name="TRO:VArp70"/> == Equipment and Capabilities == As a civilian vehicle, the Sky Eye is unarmed and carries just a half-ton of [[Barrier Armor Rating|commercial-grade armor]].
