Killigan Super-Heavy VTOL Gunship
The Killigan Super-Heavy VTOL Gunship is an airborne ground-assault vehicle constructed by Tyrralore for use by The Tyrralorean Defense Initiative to quell unruly usurpers and repel some of the largest demonic invasion attempts since the Second Calamity. The large assortment of weapons it brings to bare are easily capable of taking down even some of the largest demon variants known to Alore. For added mission variety and firepower, all Killigans can carry a Vindictus Ultra-Heavy Tank on their underside for deployment on the battlefield, which it can quickly take out of danger as well.
