History[]
Primarily used by the Orb Union, Heli's were most often operated from the Aegis-class cruisers of Orb's defense fleets as aerial scouts. In C.E. 71, Uzumi Nara Athha uses a Heli to fly over the battlefield after the initial Earth Alliance attack on Orb.[1] The Heli was still in use in C.E. 73, where Cagalli used a Heli as a means of transport from her home to Orb's governmental building.[2] At least one Heli was in the possession of the Archangel Corps, who used it during the Battle of Berlin to transport the captured Neo Roanoke back to the Archangel.[3]
