Aircraft
The aircraft in the story come in a few different flavors.
There’s the Ninth Legion droneFighters and droneBombers remote
controlled by indoctrinated youth from bases that are far from the
action.
There’s the pilot operated aircraft of the Coalition, with shapes and
sizes that vary depending on their region of origin.
Then there’s MAL. An old “MAL-class fighter” with a quirky
personality and with a lot of “screen time” who very well could have
gone into the Main Characters chapter.
One theme I loved and played a lot with were cockpits that were
below the hull/fuselage of the aircraft which would then have the
pilot’s chair dangling from above; chair suspended from telescopic
poles. I thought it was a cool concept and you’ll see a lot of it
throughout this chapter.
