Part 2: SA-5 Scorpion Gunship Aerodyne

The SA-5 Scorpion was released almost simultaneously alongside the SA-2 Samson and it became apparent as to the purpose of this parallel release after the similarities between the SA-2 and the UH-1 Huey became clear.

Just as the SA-2 operates as a UH-1 Huey, the SA-5 operates in the role of the AH-1 Cobra, a dedicated gunship escort for the utility aerodyne capable of delivering massive focused firepower in support of troop deployments.

Like the SA-2, rumors began flying from the outset that RDA, who began legal proceedings against Eurocorp to gain restitution, did so only at the behest of Stingray Industries who bought out the corporation and made it a subsidy, and that the servers that Eurocorp agents supposedly removed the designs from were in fact Stingray Industries servers inside a Stingray Industries facility.

As teh rumors began to fly, Eurocorp made the legal proceedings into a public relations stunt, citing that RDA spread the rumors to discredit both its new parent megacorporation and block Eurocorp entering the market.

It worked, orders began to flood in and soon word of mouth did the rest and soon Eurocorp production lines were rolling the 'Scorpion' off to shipping in the hundreds as clients praised its high speed and maneuverability, heavy armaments, rugged construction and lightweight MDC armour.

Coaxial ducted rotorfans on the same independantly twisting mounts as the SA-2 and the same engine allow the SA-5 its superb speed and agility, and its dedicated gunship role allowed for heavy armaments and thicker MDC armour, with the standard armament fitting either ten 19-shot rocket pods or the same in high-capacity micromissile pods, four gimble mounts typically fitted with Very Rapid Fire heavy plasma guns, and air to air missiles for self-defence.

As many mercenaries and government forces like to quote, "This is one Scorpion that has a sting in its tail."
