Condor 011 was the Condor that transported Team Scorpio to the South Islands to take part in the Hivebuster Offensive.
History[]
Swarm Invasion[]
Skirmish in Pahanu[]
Condor 011 was sent to transport Team Scorpio, unaware of the purposes of their mission or where they were going, to Galangi to meet with Colonel Victor Hoffman along with some DeeBees. As the Condor approached Pahanu, it got caught in a storm that masked a nearby Swarm Flock. As the pilot, Lieutenant Christa Navarro, warned her passengers of the possible danger, the Flock slammed into the Condor's cockpit through the windshield and out of the left side of the plane, sending it crashing to Pahanu. Scorpio was able to parachute out before the plane crashed on the island, but Navarro was hit by shrapnel and killed.
In order to get rescued, a reunited Scorpio began making their way to the Condor's cockpit in order to use the radio despite Mac being dubious that it would still be intact. Scorpio found the plane in pieces over the jungle and burning in places and that the DeeBees had been destroyed in the crash. The cockpit became separated from the main body of the plane which forced Scorpio to make their way to the beach on which it had landed. Scorpio found the radio to thankfully be intact, albeit somewhat damaged, with a message from Jasi Tak coming through reporting that the Condor's SOS had been received and he was requesting exact coordinates. Mac repaired the problem with the radio and made contact with Tak who was relieved that they had survived the crash. Jeremiah Keegan retrieved a flare gun from the wreckage and fired it into the air in order to signal their location to Tak, but he also drew the attention of the Swarm in the process. For the next few minutes, Scorpio defended the crash site with the help of an intact DR-1 hanging in the cockpit section until Tak arrived in a King Raven Mark 2 to rescue them. As Scorpio flew away from the crashed Condor, the Wakaatu killed all of the remaining Swarm on the beach.[1]
Hivebuster Offensive[]
Mission to the Wakaatu Nest[]
When Scorpio returned to the ruins on Pahanu to retrieve the Wakaatu's venom, some of the wreckage of the Condor was visible in the background, no longer burning.[1]
