The Beetle is the standard Fortian transport aircraft, created after lessons from a conflict long ago where they had lost in part due to inferior logistics. It's capable of carrying around 4000 pounds of cargo. As appreciated here, it's often also used as a gunship, particularly in the guarding of border outposts against enemy border raids and in support of their own attacks. This configuration in particular uses both .50 rotary machine guns and 40 mm cannons represented by 100 mm ones.
