Description

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

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

  • 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] 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] 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] 2,022[6]
  • Alternate Configuration 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 Alternate Configurationuration 
    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]
