Editing Crucible:PHASE II Kestrel (section)

== Design And Configuration ==

The Kestrel is built around a compact armored fuselage, vectored-thrust engines, and modular internal compartments. Its body is shorter and broader than a conventional aircraft, with reinforced landing gear, side-access doors, roof-rated deployment systems, and retractable restraint rails in the transport bay.

A standard Kestrel can be reconfigured at short notice for multiple mission profiles. PHASE II facilities maintain modular kits that can be loaded depending on the threat: prisoner transport, medical evacuation, forensic response, riot containment, hazardous-material isolation, urban rescue, drone coordination, or tactical insertion.

This flexibility is one of the Kestrel’s chief advantages. A single aircraft can carry captured supervillains in the morning, deploy a containment team in the afternoon, and evacuate civilians from a burning high-rise by night.
