Vulture 6-6

Vulture Six-Four or Vulture 6-4 is the call sign of a C-7E Stallion seen throughout the Orion Nero Initiative series, and is part of the 3rd Battalion, 7th Aviation Regiment of the 7th Infantry Division.

Vulture 6-4 is only seen during the Siege of Atlas where it flies Blackjack 1-1 back to the Amber Clad, a Tula-class Support Frigate located off the east cost of Atlas. Vulture 6-4 is destroyed after debris from an Alvitr Central Security ICBM attack launches debris from destroyed ONI warships into the Stallion.
