Background

Federation Origin

Entered service in the Federation in 1960 as a cargo aircraft. Though the cargo aircraft is still in service, some are converted into gunships with varieties of weapons systems mounted onboard. The modifications into gunships came when the need for heavy firepower was needed on the battlefield where normal methods of transporting artillery and other tanks are not viable options. The AC-50 Guardian provides ground forces with air support in nearly any location with high precision and firepower.

SPRP 2030

Infection spread rapidly throughout the city of Hong Kong. The gunships were about to go out of service at the time due to a lack of use and to save money. With infected rapidly spreading throughout the surrounding area and containment failing rapidly, the Guardians were tasked with providing fire support and gunning down hoards of infected with its large payload of automatic high powered weapons. During the later stages, the gunships supported civilian survivors holding out against infected while helicopters arrived to airlift them out.
