Description

Turning to Omni Pod 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]

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 Zugvogels 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 compliment four heat sinks.[1]

Alternate Configurations

  • Alt Config 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 the config. BV (2.0) = 645[1], 570[4]
  • Alt Config 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], 570[5]
  • Alt Config D 
    The so-called Raubvogel, the D configuration, is a 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], 2,022[6]
  • Alt Config E 
    This version carries 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], 1,028[8]
  • Unnamed Alt Configuration 
    The Republic of the Sphere put out a request to Lockheed-CBM for an Omni Pod that could carry a full company of Battle Armor.[11]
