Overview:

         Originally headquartered on Luthien, Yan Manufacturing once built the Crow on that planet. The Word assault destroyed their factories though, so they relocated to New Samarkand to begin rebuilding their scout chopper. Unfortunately, the Jihad and its technological rationings stopped Yan Manufacturing from being able to build the original version and they had to modify it. The result is an impressive scout design that the Draconis Combine still uses.

Capabilities:

         The Crow 2 is capable of moving above 200 kilometers an hour, fast enough to make it almost impossible for ground-based targets to hit it. Twin Diplan M3 medium lasers and twin Shigunga rocket launchers make it capable of threatening BattleMechs and vehicles, while a Sperry Browning machine gun allows it to slaughter enemy infantry. Star Slab Glaze laser reflective armor also makes it hard to bring down with standard weapons.

Deployment

         The Crow 2 was deployed throughout the Draconis Combine as a scout during the Jihad and the Second Dominion-Combine War. When central authority collapsed, many of them remained at their deployed positions and so many of them can still be seen throughout the Draconis Rifts. The Draconis Combine is still the most common user of the design though.
