Ordos Eye In The Sky

Another new unit-of-the-week, this time the Ordos Eye In The Sky. Check out the details below:

The philosophies of war pertaining to House Ordos dictate that every element, living or inanimate, is deemed expendable if the potential economic gains help defray costs of the overall war effort. It seems that the Ordos have struck an interesting combination that challenges this axiom in developing a certain air platform - the Eye In The Sky. Piloted by a skilled Saboteur, this lightly-armored and slow-moving aircraft is sacrificed in battle during every sortie, yet its human cargo is momentarily preserved - an Ordos strategy that is highly atypical - to continue the fight. After detonation over the intended target, the smoking hull of the aircraft plummets to the planet's surface below to inflict great amounts of damage; conversely, the Saboteur pilot is jettisoned and is free to carry on with the mission at hand. Fortunately for the Executrix, they've negotiated and renegotiated contracts with parts suppliers in an effort to manufacture the Eye In The Sky as quickly and as cheaply as possible - a condition that assuredly unnerves the pilot somewhat as he or she travels en route to the target destination. Even the suicidal Saboteurs are prone to anxiety if their plans of self-sacrifice are frustrated prematurely.

Check out the rendering, no news on the messageboard contest winners yet but they should be posted soon.
