RWI Ironhand

RWI Ironhand
The RWI Ironhand was an Ironhand-class Helicarrier serving the RWI Navy during the RWI-Drone War.

Early History
The Ironhand made several minor appearances before episode 21 during construction.

Its first mention was when Captain Jack made a request to IVals to construct RWI`s Mobile Base to stop the growing Drone threat after the defeat during episode 9 at the discovery of the ruins of the old colony base.

Non-Official Commission
During the Helicarrier's final construction, it was requested by Captain Jack and Dr. Craz to test if the ship could "Hold itself together". Unfortunately the Ironhand, due to improper piloting received major hull damage to its rear.

The Ironhand also served as a defense platform against drone missile attacks.

Operation Return
During Episode "Operation Return", the Ironhand was the flagship of RWI. During transit, the Ironhand was hit by a manned DRF missile.

Battle of the Old Colony Base
During the battle for the old colony base the Ironhand served its purpose as carrier which resulted in the loss of the DRF Cloud Kicker. Minutes later, the Ironhand suffered critical hull damage caused by the experimental dark lance of the DRF Laser Platform, which resulted in the Ironhand crashing into the ice lake, this being the show of power of the successor of the Cloud Kicker, the Grin Reaper.

Its Last Flight
During episode 27 the Captain Jack, Ivals and Dr. Craz decided to do a Kamikaze attack on the Drone Hive which resulted in the Ironhand being shot by the DRF Orb to the point where the Ironhand collapsed, causing Dr. Craz to activate the Self-Destruct system A.K.A 1313 which destroyed the ship.

Armament
The Helicarrier was equipped with several point defense measures to the point of rivaling the DRF Thunderlane. The ship also boasted several 300mm cannons which provided the firepower that rivaled larger ships such as the RWI Dawn, Olympia, and even the Vanguard.

Production Capabilities

The Ironhand had a high amount of production focused systems, nearly 50% of the ship weight dedicated to production alone, which is one of the reasons why the RWI team had to remove major parts of it to make it fly in its current state.
