Maquis Fighter Attack Squadron (VMFA) 06
"Hell's Angels"
Mission
Many planets in "The Badlands" have either atmospheric conditions, or mineral deposits which make Orbital Sensor Scans nearly impossible. These planets make perfect prospects for Maquis Colonization, free from either Federation, or Cardassian Long Range Scans. Before colonization may commence, we need to know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that the planet is "Hostile Free". This is where the Hell's Angels Squadron comes in.
The Hell's Angels Squadron is made up of 6-9 "Silverado" model Maquis Raiders. These modified Raiders have been outfitted with weaponry and a variety of other mission specific equipment. Specifically tasked to acquire planet-side information in preparation for Maquis Colonization, these raiders hold either 6 "Argo" style buggies, or up to 12 "Grav-Bikes".
Specifications & Deck Plans
Grav Bikes
Anti-gravity bikes (Grav Bikes) are the modern equivalent of the Earth motorcycle. The Harley Davidson HGW-1888 "Heavy Grav Bike" is capable of carrying up to two persons in tandem, and a moderate amount of stowage in the rear pannier. Widely used as short-range transportation for reconnaissance, they consist of an anti-gravity generator, a micro-fusion power source, an RCS thruster system and a seat. They have no life support systems or shields. The HGW is armed with a Type III Phaser emitter and enhanced short range sensors.
While they can be used in space with the aid of an environmental suit, they are almost always encountered on a planetary surface. Grav bikes are incapable of achieving orbit, and are generally operated at heights of less than 50 meters. Although they do not have a true autopilot, they can be preset to follow a programmed set of way-points and have a basic auto-avoidance warning system. In the case of an injured or incapacitated operator, they can be slaved to another grav bike, or operated remotely from the SOC Runabout.
