Casket in the Sky

Story so far

Casket in the Sky is the model designation revealed when Louis briefly disabled the Party Planner's stealth so Florin and Carl could examine it. The system classes it a Tilt Rotor Stealth Light Bomber and tier three Armor for Faction Wars purposes. The The AI's description frames it as one of the final waypoints on the roadmap every self-exterminating civilization follows: a lighter-than-air, long-range death delivery system, usually the last step before unmanned drones and total ruin.

Mechanically it is built for fast, low in-and-out raids against enemy forward positions, defended only by forward and aft anti-air guns and rudimentary shields — the system jokes it would take a pilot with gonads the size of bowling balls to fly it into fortified airspace. Its offense is the point: the multi-use bomb bay accepts all manner of armament and grants every bomb a 50% yield increase, further improvable by anyone with access to a custom bomb-maker. Louis mentioned other purchasable or buildable models exist, including one called the Dumbassmobile.

Appearance

A squished-oval silver fuselage on landing skids with a tinted glass nose, glass belly, and four concealed pop-out propellers.

Role

The aircraft class that defines the Party Planner's strengths — devastating bomb delivery paired with near-suicidal fragility.
