- Dragonhawks are Neurocrown-compatible; compatible droid drivers can make use of similar direct interfaces. Manual controls remain as a backup/option for those not comfortable with or trained to operate mind-machine interfaces. Inbuilt ejector seats can be trigger through neural command, emergency lever, or automatic response to reactor breach - single-use deflector shields increase crew survivability.
- Dragonhawks may be outfitted with anti-theft measures ranging from biometrics to code cylinder requirements.
- Dragonhawks are able to be resupplied in the field, typically by making use of burrowing or airborne drones.
- Dragonhawks can be airdropped onto a battlefield or the equivalent from high altitudes; expect a rough ride.
- Adaptable: Dragonhawks can operate in virtually any terrain and be modified for specialised or generic roles.
- High-Tech: Dragonhawks sport sophisticated droid-assisted aiming, flexible deflector shields, and more.
- Dead Weight: Dragonhawks are completely immobilised if their repulsors are disabled or destroyed.
- High-Tech: Dragonhawks have plenty of fancy tech - stay away from ion bolts and EMPs.
There are tools and technologies that, when unveiled, rewrite the very essence of war - the Dragonhawk is nowhere near that innovative, but it is an elegantly efficient war machine, a well-engineered mixture of versatility, performance, and cost-effectiveness.
While some might critique its overreliance on 'unnecessarily advanced' technological solutions for everything from aiming to food (Globex's standard model features a nutrient paste dispenser with 'advanced taste additives', though it is often left out due to crew complaints), Globex firmly maintains that such complaints are entirely unfounded... while simultaneously strongly suggesting that operators avoid EMPs and the like if at all possible.
As a result of the Globex Security Division's overly cautious engagement protocols, operators are technically expected to remain within the safety of their vehicles at all times when outside allied fortifications; in practice, the prospect of stacked hypersleep caskets and 'wonderfully compact' refreshers tends to make all but the most claustrophilic of soldiers long for fresh air.
