Description
The Scarab drone aerospace fighter was used by the Word of Blake as a fighter-bomber. Protected by 10.5 tons of heavy ferro-aluminum armor and controlled by an Improved Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System, the Scarab can carry seven standard or light air-to-air missiles, or two huge anti-ship missiles into combat. The Guardian ECM Suite jams enemy targeting and control systems, allowing the Scarab's fellow Hive fighters to advance or retreat under electronic cover.
Weapons and Equipment
To offset the inaccuracy of the Aerospace Smart Robotic Control System, the Scarab carries pulse lasers. Most of the heavy hitting power comes from the large pulse lasers mounted in each wing, but for close combat the pair of nose-mounted medium variable speed pulse lasers can inflict heavy damage as well.[2]
Variants
There are no known variants of the Scarab drone fighter.
