The Chiaka was a powered tail-less glider designed for low level reconnaissance flights over enemy held territory. A turbojet engine powered it, and was test flown in November 2883. Because the AFS was in use at that time, it was planned to use a modified suit for the pilot. This would keep the aircraft's construction simple and still provide protection for the pilot. The left arm laser was removed to add a second manipulator with which to control the craft. In addition, an in-flight refuelling drogue was added so that the range of the craft could be extended. Finally, while 3 12.7 mm auto cannon were the crafts main weaponry, it could always carry additional under wing stores and ordnance.
