Our Flag's Unfurled to Every Breeze
GH-23F and GH-23M Infantry Dropships
A small craft, the Gaerlan Heinz-23 has been a
versatile and important part of the The Corps' offense and defense since its introduction seventeen years ago. Multiple variations exist, but the most used is the GH-23F [foreground] This "Cricket" variant can carry up to seven Devil Dogs, five fully armed and/or two injured on the bottom wing pylons.
Almost every Marine currently in the Corps has flown into battle strapped to the side of a "Cricket".
Very little armor makes this dropship incredibly fast and maneuverable, even fully loaded with troops.
Alone, the GH-23 has limited armament, just two blast cannons under the bottom wings. However, a veritable cornucopia of weapons systems can be attached in lieu of (or addition to) the Marines, in essentially any combination.
The versatile weapons payload, ability to quickly pick up or drop off troops, and sheer maneuverability (not counting that they were ridiculously cheap to manufacture) made the GH-23 "Cricket" a favorite among The Corps brass and also the Devil Dogs they carried into battle.
