Monitor-class helicopter gunship

The Monitor-class helicopter gunship was a twin-rotor military helicopter design utilized by the martial forces of the various Sa'ari republics on T'lessia, and later the T'lessian Defense Force. Crewed by a single pilot aided by a navigational and targeting computer, these craft bristled with armament in the form of unguided rockets, seeker missiles, and projectile cannons.

Though almost exclusively used by the military, the police forces of the larger republics, such as the constabulary of the Tal'adin Republic, possessed a small number of these machines for use as emergency defenses. During the Bombing of Tal'adin City that sparked the Sa'ari Civil War, a few Monitor gunships were able to get into the air in time to act as a makeshift defense until Ellipse-class interceptors could be scrambled.
