Overview
A gun running equivalent to the Rocketeers created in Athel Loren, the Icarus Raider are armed with two Type-42K HMGs machine guns against infantry, and fires a volley of micro-missiles against everything else. While it is more range-focused, a bit more faster - and much costlier - than the standard Rocketeer, it is best used in hit and run tactics, since the reload time between missiles barrages will make it vulnerable to enemy fire without any means to retaliate, and have significantly less armor than the Rocketeer to hold its equipment.

History
"Well, those Elves has another ideas for the Rocketeers..."
