The Directorate Ground Attack Helix

The Shade Heavy Ground Attack Gunship forms the backbone of the Directorate Aerial Cadres. Fielded in pairs, the Shade gives covering fire to the advancing ground forces using its powerful Diligence Plasma Cannons to soften up targets prior to the ground forces hitting with the killing blow. In addition, the Shade forms part of the Directorate communications link to the operations headquarters where it can immediately relay likely areas for the deployment of artillery assets. Multiple cadres of Shade Heavy Gunships can quite literally decimate the enemy from afar ensuring the Directorate ground forces face considerably less resistance when they make contact.

A Phantom Ground Attack Gunship provides the Directorate Ground Commander a highly flexible firepower option and is often requested as a line breaker asset when dealing with enemies that can execute strong close range capabilities. The Phantoms use an unusual method of lift and propulsion that allows them to operate as a very effective ambusher, placing itself in the fire-line to deliver its ordnance before escaping into the shadows to bide its time, ready to strike later!
