Entry 2 - Category V - Ice Hawk

This helicopter is able to fly in extreme cold and wind. Heavily armed, it
transports 5 Squad Six members and an additional 300 kilos of cargo while it
vaporizes anything in the way.

Entry 3 - Category III - F49 "Brawler" Gunship

Capable of both Space and Atmospheric flight, the Brawler is not Squad Six's
fastest ship but what it lacks in speed it makes up in pure firepower.

Entry 4 - Category II - Pacification Tank

This six wheeled wonder is one of the first ground vehicles to move into a
hot LZ. It is capable of clearing the very terrain it defends as Squad Six
moves in.

Entry 5 - Category III - F43 "Hawk" Tactical Fighter

Designed with variable geometry wings, the Hawk is the fastest Squad Six
ship. In the swept forward position, it sacrifices its tremendous speed to
be one of the most manoeuvrable dogfighters.

Entry 6 - Category III - Polar Lift

Destroyed in training exercise, the Polar Lift was a little workhorse.
Capable of carrying two external cargo containers or two loaded stretchers
it had a range of 1200 km before refuelling.

Entry 7 - Category X - Blue Midget

Built originally as the freighter Argon it was "acquired" by Squad Six and
refitted as a Mobile Command and Control for the unit.

(...) Hey, Jude. (bet you've never heard THAT before) It's snazzy. Fighting helicopters always make me hum the theme to Airwolf. (...) Simple and cool. But where's the trans-orange?? If I have to use that hideous colour, then so does everyone else! (...) (22 years ago, 20-Jun-02, to lugnet.space, lugnet.build.contests)
