History
"Alright boys, your cleared for landing. Wait, who-"

-Last radio transmission of a nearby Aquilan outpost, investigations found the outpost razed, with only marking of Minutemen and a strange residue hinting the culprit

Thanks to its rugged design, huge cargo space, and ease of manufacture the Bluejay is still used in the Aquilans, other countries, and even in the National Guards, as a civilian transport chopper, despite the Aquilans having replaced them with the faster Chinook, especially since, with some minor configuration, it can easily hold a storage bin below it to hold many things, from water for firefighters, ore from miners, or even delivering/smuggling weapons and ammunition for the Guards/Minutemen. With a Bluejay flying overhead in most countries being a normal sight, contributing to the Aquilan's headache in trying to identify a Bluejay is piloted by the Minutemen, to be shot down, and a Bluejay piloted by civilians, a PR nightmare if shot down especially if it was a National Guards.

Such normality also made it the perfect ore collector for the Heralds, also giving headaches to the Order, due to a combination of their lack of AA weapons and the risk that downing the wrong Bluejay could expose them.

Before getting their hands on the Bluejay the Heralds had struggled in gathering large amounts of supplies in short order, at least when trying to stay hidden. Since most of their undercover vehicles, mainly civilian cars and such modified with chaos, lacked the horsepower to carry large amounts of ore, large trucks can be easily spotted and destroyed by the Orders ground forces, and arming either of those would arouse suspicion. But once they found the Bluejay they began to acquire them, from Cult spies in the Aquilan and Minutemen shipping them to a "special division", buying them with proxies, or straight up stealing them in the dead of night, with maybe an "accident" or two to cover their tracks. And once acquired all it took was attaching a bin to the winch and they got their collector, with the cargo space also doubling as a transport for clandestine deployment, but pilots are forbidden to hold both ore and infantry, or carry Chaos Marines, since the last time it happened the Bluejay had spun out of control and crashed due to being overloaded. With this, the Cults dubbed it the Bluejay Hauler.

To maintain their "civilian" cover, cultists never install or even use a weapon on their Bluejays. Instead, they keep a low profile until they reach their destination, disembark, and start shooting at those who are still trying to figure out what's going on. Such tactics have scared many anti-air units to open fire on any Bluejay that isn't theirs, causing several civilian Bluejay casualties and friendly fire incidents. The tensions between Aquilan and Embry people keep growing, which is just what Heralds needs.
