Ke-H5-W4201 "Suzumebachi" Attack Drones

The Ke-H5-W4201 is an upgraded component of the "Guriddo" Defense System, and was first produced in YE 42.

History

In the wake of the Kuvexian War which began in YE 38, the Ke-H5-1a "Guriddo" Defense System was in need of upgrades. The designers of the Ketsurui Fleet Yards launched a project to overhaul the system and make it more robust; this work was completed when the W4201 was first produced in YE 42. The Ke-H5-W3201 "Suzumebachi" Attack Drones were enhanced with better propulsion and defensive capabilities.

Description

A fast attack drone operating as a component of the "Guriddo" Defense System.

Appearance

Suzumebachi is an oval craft with a low profile, in the center is a dome that contains the shield and control systems. Two Turbo Aether Plasma Drive engines can see protruding from the aft, and two smaller ones are mounted on the sides to increase maneuverability. On the upper front a Wasp can be seen between the forward guns. The Star Army Hinomaru can be seen on either side of the command dome.
