| - The Multi-Mission VTOL-14F Super Hornet is a updated version of the AV-14 Hornet that served during and after the Human-Covenant War. The modernised Hornet now features improved systems, with heavier armour, titanium flooring to prevent bullets penetrating the base of the cockpit or jump-seats. The engines were also improved, providing a much faster, more agile and nimble platform. The most important changes are to the weapon systems. While overall, they can carry slightly less ordnance than the early model, it can carry a wider range of ordnance. on the underside of the jump-seats are four light pylons. Its TADS/PNVS system has been widely increased with new friend foe identification, thermal imagers, advance decoy rejection and computer assisted targeting systems. Otherwise, it is has changed little from the original Hornet. The Super Hornet is used as a special insertion vehicle for regular and special forces, being capable of landing in much tighter and smaller landing zones than the larger Merlin dropship. The Hornet can then go on to provide close in support, with enough firepower to support the disembarked units. The Super Hornet can also be used as a special purpose transport and insertion vehicle for special forces, but also crew recovery and as a firing platform for sniper teams. Due to their small profile and high agility, they are also often used for low altitude Suppression of Enemy air Defences (SEAD) missions against enemy forces. They can also be massed as escorts for larger Pelicans and Merlin dropships during close assault missions.
