Image Source: Archeage
Intent: A fun little personal thingy for Cross' friends in the Novas, and possibly mass production later.
Development Thread: If needed
Manufacturer: Cross Ikon
Model: N/A
Affiliation: Nova Outbound Fleet (individuals)
Modularity: No
Production: Semi-unique (like seven or eight, plus prototypes for later models...)
Material: Hollow durasteel frame, light desh weave for wings.
Role: Personal self-contained flight thingy
Height: eight centimeters
Length: 4 feet
Width: 3 meters (wingspan)
Weight: 10kg
Minimum Crew: 1
Optimal Crew: 1
Propulsion: Glides on updrafts, but has a little 'jet jump' system to propel it upwards if needed.
Top Speed: N/A
Armaments: None (will sub a weaponized one later, separately)
Squadron Count: 30? (dunno if this applies here)
Passenger Capacity: 1
Cargo Capacity: On its own, none.
Misc. Equipment: folding system to allow for easy transport and carrying. Also, straps to allow them to be carried like a backpack.
Description: It's basically a high-tech, folding glider. Cross developed them as a fun little toy when he first lived on Lubang Minor, nearly twenty years before the Clone Wars. Of course, being gliders... you can't take off from the ground with them. Cross actually has a loft specifically for the purpose. It's unarmed, and it can't carry more than two people without a detrimental effect on the steering and ability to um... not fall straight down to the ground and shatter into pieces. In order to keep the glider up in the air, Cross included a jump system similar to that of a Clone Rocket Jumper's. Right now, he's only created eight of the original model, but he's always looking for ways to improve the handling and flight ability of his toys.
