The
ultralight Crow scout helicopter, designed by House Kurita
engineers as a light scout and target spotter, first appeared
on the scene just after the start of the Word of Blake Jihad.
With incredible airspeed and electronic systems capable of locating
and homing in on enemy units, the Crow could easily slip
into and out of hostile areas unharmed - all but eliminating worry
over its superthin armor.

Though
regarded by many in the Archon's Shield regiment as a cocky, elitist
snob, there are few who wouldn't swear by Larsen Habbick's claim
that he is one of the best chopper pilots around. Before the HPG
crash, Habbick was actually a stunt pilot for RedStorm Pictures
on Lipton, where he often flew both civilian and (decommissioned)
military helicopters and other VTOL craft both on and off the
set. Because of his experience as a pilot, he was a natural for
Landgrave Kelswa-Steiner's airborne recon section in the Archon's
Shield when he signed up. Once there, however, his supreme overconfidence
manifested. Egocentric to the point of narcissism, he looks down
at plodding MechWarriors, "tankers," and "foot
sloggers" of the Archon's Shield, and doesn't hesitate to
say that flying aircraft is much more demanding than hulking about
in a 'Mech or tank.
