[NS] Malebolge Clearer

After several failed attempts, the Malebolge was where NS finally landed a contract to build its own vehicles. An air superiority drone, it could operate either as a 'loyal wingman' for a crewed flitter or under remote control.

Intended to be cheap and easily manufacturable (as demanded by Excalibur Initiative doctrine), it didn't do as well on either as anyone hoped. It also made sacrifices in other areas (particularly repairability and longevity) that garnered it no end of hatred from the people of Nadia.





⨴ No stabilisation - careful in VTOL.

Environment: Atmosphere

Armament: 2 30/7 MGs, 1 8x autocannon, 4 rockets


Built for RLM Contest #7: 6th Generation Fighters!. It achieved #2. Somehow.

Built from 44% recycled parts. Do your bit to help the environment!

The Glatisant was the original contest entry, but it got blasted over whether or not it could fly/whether it was a jet/etc etc so I rebuilt it so drastically it turned into another craft.

Again, it's a Space Engineers replica, and again it's 1.5x scale. It's much closer in design this time.

Most of the pitch comes from the vectoring engine. All of the yaw, too, but it's so little that it doesn't matter...

A large (and heavily reinforced) Cocytus engine was developed for this aircraft to make up for the loss of the three Cocytus engines in the nacelles. It has done so admirably.

Clearers are area superiority craft.
They are often deployed in swarms to uproot enemy forces by drowning them in a sea of metal and fire. Each individual unit is treated as a missile with a gun - they are just as maneuverable, just as lethal, and just as expendable.
