Seraphim AC-11

The Seraphim is a mid-sized gunship developed by SMC Aerospace for Imperial Avaricia. Possessing a good range and payload, and armed with eight water-cooled 12.7mm heavy machine guns, two 20mm autocannons, and either two 40mm autocannons or a 75mm howitzer in a side-firing configuration, plus two 12.7mm machine guns and a 7.62mm machine gun as a defensive armament and a dozen 3-inch rockets, the aircraft is designed to operate against massed enemy formations of infantry and light mechanised forces. Used to patrol the Avarician border, maritime patrol and transport variants of the airframe also exist.

As well as its heavy ground-attack armament, the Seraphim is also equipped with a side-facing searchlight for night operations, and can also carry searchlights and surface-search radar for operations against shipping. These are specifically present on the wing pylons of the PC-11 maritime patrol variant, being substituted for external fuel tanks on the gunship variant.

As well as its service with Avaricia, a few examples persisted long enough to see service with the Tanggung Air Force during the Tanggung Civil War.
