Expeditionary Force personnel often associated the Invid with an insect
species due to both their society, and a vague resemblance in their mecha. Some pilots on the
other hand, didn't see any relation at all, until of course they came up against a Scorpion
Gunship. Found only in the Regent's Forces, the small Scorpion is a well-armoured troop
delivery ship. Though not capable of transporting the larger mecha such as the Gurab, the
Scorpion can insert teams of Enforcers or Inorganics in hostile environment. With a variety
of laser and particle weaponry, it also poses a threat to allied ships. The true effectiveness
of the Scorpion was never revealed until it made contact with an allied ship, breached its
hull and deposited its troops directly onto the vessel. Most ships assault by Inorganics
were soon taken out of action, or were crippled as soldiers in armoured Cyclones participated
in pitched battles with the lifeless invaders.
