The Overlord Dropship is an aerial transport vehicle used by the Helghan Empire and New Helghan. An unquestionably deadly aircraft, the Overlord were used in the Second Extrasolar War in dropping payloads of troops on Vekta and causing massive amounts of damage to Vektan defenses.

Specifications[]

Sleek and quick, the Overlord Dropship employs a state-of-the-art rappelling system that allows Helghast troopers to rappel safely down into a secure location. The craft is heavily armored and nearly impossible to shoot down without heavy firepower. The craft also has up to six Petrusite capacitors onboard functioning as backup generators providing both fuel and power to ensure that it will work even if the main Petrusite fuel is empty.


The Overlord utilizes a non-direct line of sight method of flight, meaning that the pilot does not have a canopy for observation and instead relies on a set of monitors fed through different angle cameras installed around the craft. The Overlord is a very versatile platform which has been known to be carried by batches of six in the aft sections of Helghast assault cruisers where they are stored on a sliding guide rail conveyor.

Unlike its Vektan counterpart, the ISA Intruder, the troops are offered much better protection because of the craft's armor plating, and are carried safely inside a standard infantry bay, as opposed to the troops having to deal with the extremely hazardous, rollercoaster-like rides atop the Intruder where they are exposed to groundfire and debris like missile propellant or having the risk of falling off if not strapped in. Despite these advantages, it is unable to perform the more rapid troop insertions with the same success as the Intruder Also, the Overlord's somewhat more time-consuming process of having to deploy its ropes and the troops rappelling down them a few at a time gives the enemy more time to open fire on the deploying troops, contrasted with the Intruder dropship just rapidly landing and deploying its troops all at once.

The Overlord is still in use after the Helghast resettlement, and appears to be functionally the same as the older models. The upgrades given to the Overlord in the last 30 years includes three triple-barreled autocannons that replaced its machine guns, the winglet surfaces are increased and a set of canards have been mounted on the forward section. The autocannons are equipped with laser detectors which increases its accuracy against hostile troops.

Weapons[]

As a standard Helghast aircraft capable of transporting up to eight regular troopers into battle under the cover of its heavy armor and additional weaponry comprising:

The Overlord performs the duties of an assault transport/gunship in the Helghan Army. More resilient than its ISA counterpart, the Overlord is designed as an aerial tank for the purposes of demoralizing the enemy and suppressing them with preliminary covering fire until the onboard troops have had a chance to dismount.
