==Overview:==
The Blackbird came of age when the Co-Alliance began to dig in and fight back
against the Karagin and their military steamroller. Many times fast moving
grav tanks had cost the Co-Alliance both tactical as well as stragtegic
victory. Seeking away to address this issue the Co-Alliance Weapons Design and
Testing Command, began to study faster VTOLs and hover vehicles, while hoping
to master the gravatic technology of the Karagin, the end results were several
weapons platforms that are now intering service and should address things
slightly in favor of the CAAF.

The Blackbird isn't made to slug it out with anything. It's a hit and run unit
and nothing else. It has two weapon sets, the first being the TAG system that
allows it to call in guided attacks and the second being the Thunderbolt
missiles. Once it fires these off, it time to get out of the area and hope
that not much is left to come after you.

==Variants:==
Several variants are in the testing stage.

Interesting idea. Kinda reminds me of the old Panzerschrek.
