==Overview:==
Kenneth and Bella Yan formed Yan Manufacturing in 3009 after Kenneth
retired from over forty years of active service as a firefighter with the New
Samarkand Fire Department. The Yans loved to fly and owned two older-model
Wakazashi Airframe’s Ruckus-class acrobatic helicopters that had been handed
down from Bella’s side of the family. Using a sizeable amount of their
savings, the Yans entered the very niche market of do-it-yourself chopper
kits. The small company sold three their first year and the company never
seemed to be destined for anything but a hobby for the couple until 3013.
During the Galedon Acrobatic Tour, Michael Hulis managed to score a 97.23 (out
of 100) using a Yan Stutter-class single-seat chopper, catapulting the small
company into the spotlight.
Demand outstripped supply in a matter of months and the Yans began
expanding their business. When Kenneth died in 3017, Bella sold the majority
shares to Luthien Armor Works with the stipulation that LAW retain the
company’s name and focus of producing small, compact VTOL airframes. LAW
happily complied and immediately began designing and producing VTOLs for the
open market.
Buoyed by the instant success of their VTOL, LAW began testing other
airframes for possible construction. Though several dozen designs ended up as
scrap on the drawing room floor-thanks to cutbacks in most non-BattleMech
departments-the engineering team did hit upon a design model that could be
used by police and ISF forces alike with little adjustment. The massive
"Peacekeeper" worked well for the police and ISF until the Jihad when they
proved too large and slow to survive. After the Jihad, Yan began building a
smaller Peacekeeper VTOL to replace the dead pre-Jihad model.
==Capabilities:==
Built for more mission-specific roles centering on local Special Weapons
and Tactics (SWAT) teams, massive the Peacekeeper can quickly get these
specialists into position for time-critical insertions. The Peacekeeper is
built around the infantry compartment, which is roomy enough for a
jump-equipped platoon of troopers.
Although sporting a Shigunga SRM-6 rack and twin Rorynex mini-guns, the
Peacekeeper is rarely in a position to use deadly force. In fact, most
police-equipped Peacekeepers are loaded with rubber bullets and special tear
gas missile warheads for riot duty. Some city governments cannot afford to
maintain the costly fusion engine and so they replace them with an ICE. These
replace the missiles with a two-pack system.
Peacekeeper VTOLs are also prized by some ISF DEST teams as well. Loaded
with live ammunition and heavily armored, these Peacekeepers can maintain
enough of a defensive posture to provide air cover for their insertion team.
The inherently quiet fusion engine and active vibration control in the main
rotors keeps the VTOL quiet even in a rural environment, allowing the DEST
squad a good degree of anonymity.
==Deployment==
Designed and built after the Jihad, the new Peacekeeper is used only in
the modern Draconis Combine. ISF special forces use its whisper rotors to
perform quiet infiltrations, while city police forces use it for its intended
purpose of carrying a SWAT.
