| The
Chinnook is an
American interface-capable craft tasked with the recovery of wrecked
fighters, small shuttles, and their crews. The Chinnook can recover vehicles on
worlds with atmospheres and with escape velocities of up to 16
km/sec. It is armed only with a point defense battery, and so in
hostile areas it is often escorted by fighters or by a Merkava
gunship. The Chinnook
can typically carry a single crippled fighter on board, though it can
salvage critical systems and the remains of the crews off of up to
three typical fighters at a time. American carriers will
typically carry at least one Chinnook
on board in addition to their fighter complements. Several dozen Chinnooks are known to exist in
Sagittarius, where they are used in a host of functions, as they are
very versatile platforms. Mercer Heavy Industries had a license
to manufacture Chinnooks for
foreign military sales, and so retains the ability to produce more
ships if necessary. |
