As a replacement for the DFD, the Canard is more interested in carrying
cargo than launching satellites. Doubling as a troop transport, it can land,
drop off 15 soldiers and launch in a quick 20 seconds.
After the destruction of the Polar Lift, Squad Six rebuilt it with a few
design changes including vector nozzle lift engines; the lack of moving
rotors allows this little workhorse to operate in even colder temperatures.
To increase the mobility of Squad Six, the P'tit Bleu was commissioned. It
is capable of carrying the Ice Speeder and the Ice Hawk on its roof as well
as accommodating a crew of twenty-five. The aft docking bay (large enough
for a Brawler) is also used for storage. The rotating nacelles allow
propulsion for VTOL and forward flight.
BTW, my internet service has been down for more than 24hours and they are
not sure when it will be up. So if there are any problems with this post I
will resolve it as soon as I get back on-line. Special thanks to Mom and Dad
for letting me post with their PC. :-)
