Overview:
The San Miguel Fire Support Gunship is what happens when a bunch of technicians who just
survived a major war get really drunk in the victory party that followed and got dared to do
SOMETHING. And remembered the dare in the harsh light of the morning after even through the
hangover.
The techs in question belong to the Wild Hunt Engineering, Science, and Technology (WHEST)
Division, basically the technical and R&D arm of the Wild Hunt mercenary unit. While getting
inebriated in the celebrations after the conclusion of Auriga's Restoration War, these techs
got to talking about the absolute fear the Fortress class DropShip Iberia put into everyone
due to the sheer damage its Long Tom did.
While even the Hunt doesn't have a Fortress, and the Command Group absolutely refuses to
mount a Long Tom on the Argo (it can't land, anyway), the techs, in their drunken ramblings,
decided to see if they can mount an artillery piece on a flying thing. Several of them
remember something similar in old Terra's 21st century, a fat prop plane that was said to
have a howitzer sticking out of the side. What myths old Terra has, eh?
The San Mig was a product of that drunken design hackathon.
The fun part was Hunt Chief Tech Yang Virtanen finding the designs the day after when he was
out collecting his hung over technicians and found the plans.
And, after getting an "alright, see if it works" from Commander Carlios Dan Cannar and Lady
Kamnea Arano, grabbed a Karnov under repair and told his engineers to stick a big gun on it.
Incidentally, the name for the gunship is said to have come from two sources:
The first, official, one is it's a play on the opening part to the prayer to St. Michael the
Archangel: "St. Michael, deliver us in battle." It is also the codephrase for requesting
fire support from the gunships.
The second, unofficial, reason is that it was the brand of the beer the WHEST technicians
were getting drunk over.
