To most of the population, the aircraft is an urban myth or an anomaly, but deep within the higher echelons of the Liyue Qixing, the aircraft continues to be a valuable asset, providing intelligence to Quixing command.

Designed as a multirole fighter, leaning into the role of interception and air superiority, the YL-34 Airframe proves worthy of its role as a reconnaissance/Electronic warfare aircraft.

The mysterious aircraft would often be seen flying into the Chasm for top secret recon and strike operations, often clearing the way for the main forces to head into the chasm.

With an armament of 4 multirole missiles in stealth configuration, the Silent Orchid is a formidable fighter for Chasm operations. Being able to maneuver effortlessly in the cavernous underground labyrinth, the delta winged fighter has racked up multiple achievements within the Chasm.

The Silent Orchid has proven helpful to the Chasm campaign, despite the craft being a highly secured secret, the success of the Chasm operations relied on the aircraft's intelligence gathering capabilities and surprise attack missions on important targets.

Notable achievements in the Chasm:

The YL-34N was seen heavily used in the highly classified Chasm operations in Liyue. The aircraft fought alongside the LADF's X-140 against the Abyssal threats from within the chasm, even taking part in locating the lost Fatui unit that was stranded there for months.

The Adepti noted the Silent Orchid's ability to cloak itself in surprise attack missions.

It is unclear where the aircraft is currently located..... With some reports saying it was last seen flying into the Chasm, while other reports state that it was seen landing on the Jade chamber....

In all the misinformation one thing is clear.... The aircraft is a formidable foe to whoever is unlucky enough to be its enemy...

Additional notes:

  • I designed the glass version of the aircraft first then it reminded me of Yelan's elemental skill, so I decided to replicate the glass plane 1:1 and this is the result
  • The aircraft number 404 is a reference to Yelan's ability to be invisible, and her not being on the official list of Liyue's Ministry of Civil affairs
  • The serial number is a reference to her birthday (April 20)
  • Flies a little weird

Please Enjoy~
