The Orb Union uses a helicopter-like VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft known as the Heli. These light craft are armed with two machine cannons and two rocket pods, and are used to patrol the skys over Orb and to transport VIPs such as Uzumi Nara Athha. Helis also operate from the Aegis-class cruisers of Orb's defense fleets as aerial scouts. In CE 71, Uzumi Nara Athha uses a Heli to fly over the battlefield after the initial Earth Alliance attack on Orb.
