Notes:
This long-range aircraft is fast and difficult to spot. It is very useful for mapping out enemy territory when planning an invasion, although it can also be used to paradrop battlebots (goblins, orcs, ogres). A few battlebots can wreak havoc (depending on how well-defended an area is) and distract the enemy while you gather your real invasion force on their border.
