L20-Pelican

By size alone many wouldn’t consider the Pelican a proper ZGA- after all, many ZGA often are closer in stature to a fighter jet. Yet the propulsion systems are more in line with newer models of ZGAs than older planes, and on top of that the Pelican is capable of unassisted atmospheric reentry and exit. Rather than a fighter, the Pelican is designed for armored troop transport, capable of carrying three AAAs hoisted in its belly, or several ALAs. A refueling nozzle sticks out of the side of its head, where one to two pilots operate the vehicle.

Its ‘wings’ feature two arcs at the ends which curve inward. The ends feature an advanced jet propulsion system, taking advantage of a N90 generator system located towards the planes rear. While in space, the arcs can extend outwards to reveal a solar sail for long-range transportation, and can likewise extend a protective covering when under attack or performing reentry. Most Pelicans are unarmed, though some have been refitted to bare light point defense weaponry.
