Fakh Goudza Grav Fighting Vehicle (Military Aircraft)

The Fakh Goudza is a general purpose grav fighting vehicle manufactured by several planets in the Vargr Extents. Its name is taken from a large carnivorous bird on the planet of its design. It bears certain similarities to the Imperial Gryphon GFV, but is intended to have an auxiliary role as a troop carrier. Roomy seats allow four infantrymen in battledress with grav belts to be deployed when advantageous. It also carries a non-homogeneous computer array, with a Model 4 available for control of combat operations. The Fakh Goudza's armor and controls are space rated, and the vehicle can be launched from orbit for a planetary assault operation. Armament is laid out "over and under", with the pulse laser in a remote turret on the upper surface of the vehicle, and the fusion gun in a turret on the lower surface. The two smaller lasers are mounted in side sponsons, and are intended for antipersonnel use.
