Description[edit]

The Peacekeeper SWAT carrier VTOL is a product from Yan Manufacturing of New Samarkand. An LAW-owned company, Yan Manufacturing tried a number of designs before hitting on the mission-specific vehicle design of the Peacekeeper, which was created to transport a platoon's worth of SWAT police troops into situations and be able to provide fire support. The Peacekeeper is also used by some DEST units.[1][2]

During the Jihad, New Samarkand Metals purchased a license to build the Peacekeeper on Xinyang. This purchase provided much needed money for LAW.[1][2]

Equipment and Capabilities[edit]

The Peacekeeper is fitted with a fusion engine to allow for quiet operations and carries 3.5 tons worth of BAR 10 commercial armor, allowing it to resist modern military weapons fire.[1][2]

The Peacekeeper's main armament is a Shigunga six-tube short-range missile launcher with a single ton of ammunition; SWAT forces have been known to use tear gas rounds for the SRM launcher during riot duty. It is also armed with a pair of machine guns mounted to the front of the VTOL with the SRM launcher. It sports an Armored Chassis and Controls Modifications system to give the craft military-grade precision targeting of its weapons.[1][2]

It also has two searchlights mounted on the right and left sides of the aircraft.[1][2]

Cargo[edit]

The Peacekeeper is designed around its Infantry compartment which can hold a single jump platoon, but also has 2 tons of cargo space available for other equipment needed for missions. The doors for both the infantry and cargo compartments are found in the rear of the craft.[1][2]

Notes[edit]

  • The craft features the armored chassis and control modifications. As of this writing, there is no published record sheet for this vehicle.
