Miratian Aircraft

FM-1 Lightning

The Lightning is a 4th generation all-weather twin-engine tactical fighter, designed with the ability to attain and maintain air superiority.

Armament

  • Nose-mounted VC-4 30 mm gatling cannon
  • 2 × AAM-1 anti-aircraft missiles
  • 8 × AAM-2 anti-aircraft missiles

Comparable Aircraft

FM-1B Lightning

The Lightning-B is a derivative design of the FM-1 Lightning tactical fighter, designed to fulfill the role of a ground attack plane.

Armament

  • Nose-mounted VC-4 30 mm gatling cannon
  • 2 × AAM-1 anti-aircraft missiles
  • Up to 11,000 kg of bombs

Comparable Aircraft

FM-2 Falcon

The Falcon is a 5th-generation all-weather multi-role fighter with vectored-thrust capability, supercruise, multiple engagement capability, sophisticated control systems, and ten modular weapon hardpoints that can mount and fire missiles of virtually any manufacture.

In spite of a large missile capacity, the ability to track, assign to, and launch missiles at several targets simultaneously often resigns the Falcon to releasing a single devastating volley of missiles from exceptionally long range, followed by a hasty retreat to rearm.

Armament

  • Nose-mounted VC-4 30 mm gatling cannon
  • Eight external and two internal missile hardpoints
    • 1 AAM-1 anti-aircraft missile per external or internal hardpoint
    • 1 AAM-2 anti-aircraft missile per external hardpoint

Miratian Army Vehicles

MC-1 combat land cruiser

The MC-1 land cruiser is Miratia's state of the art main battle tank. The primary armament consists of a manually-loaded 120 mm smoothbore gun, and two auto-loading 80 mm mortars. It is also equipped with a pair of 12.7 mm machine guns that can be manually or remotely operated. These can also be switched out for fully-automatic 40 mm grenade launchers. Additionally, the vehicle sports a heavily armoured tread system that is, for all intents and purposes, immune to tampering by anything less than military-grade high-explosives.

The MC-1 can be fitted with a number of box-launchers for GAM-1A anti-aircraft missiles, though this is rarely done due to both the considerable amount of close-range firepower it can bring to bear against low-flying aircraft, as well as detection and IFF issues.

Out of context, the land cruiser is comparable to a somewhat heavier version (70 t) of the American M1A1 Abrams main battle tank, or the Israeli Merkava Mk IV.

Armament

  • Manually-loaded VC-3 gun.
  • Two VC-1 machine guns or VC-2 automatic grenade launchers.

MC-X1A urban land cruiser

The MC-X1A is an experimental derivative of the MC-1 land cruiser designed for urban warfare. It sacrifices the two mortars for a significantly shorter 130 mm auto-loading gun, thicker top and underside armour, and an even more heavily-armoured tread system that will be nearly impervious to all but a direct hit on the track links from the front or rear with an RPG.

MC-2 Cobra infantry fighting vehicle

  • VC-2 automatic grenade launcher mounted in remote-controlled turret.
