The Orca is a twin engine, long-range, multirole amphibious aircraft designed and built by the Van Holsen Maritime Defense Division. It can perform anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and convoy escort duties. A modified variant, the True Orca, acts primarily as gunship with two 20mm guns equipped on the port side with removal of some equipment.
