History

Scouting Over the Cressy Escarpment

"KR-Eight-Zero to all call signs, grubs on the move. Column of about forty drones heading northeast - about five klicks from the escarpment."

—Gill Gettner

Ten years after Emergence Day, at the end of Reap, KR Eight-Zero was dispatched along with several other King Ravens to patrol over the Cressy Escarpment, near the border of the Jacinto Plateau, after the nearby city of Estana was sacked by the Locust. Gettner reported that a column of forty Drones were on the move five klicks from the escarpment, heading north-east. KR Nine-Six responded, stating they were south of Shenko Falls, waiting for a group of sappers. Nine-Six's pilot, Rothesay, flirted with Gettner before moving on to assist the sappers.

Lightmass Offensive

Fourteen years after Emergence Day, during the Battle of the Slab, KR Eight-Zero flew CAP over Jacinto Maximum Security Prison, alongside three other King Ravens, when Pvt. Dominic Santiago freed Marcus Fenix from the prison. Eight-Zero successfully extracted the duo, however KR Six-One was shot down during the extraction. Eight-Zero then dropped them off at Embry Square.

Port Farrall

While stationed at Port Farrall, KR Eight-Zero killed a Corpser and flew cover during a Locust ambush.

Mission to Vectes

When KR Eight-Zero went on a scouting mission to the island of Vectes, it was fitted with extra fuel tanks. The gunship provided transport and vital fire support during the expedition, especially during the Stranded raid on Pelruan, where it suffered minor damage from a grenade launcher.

Rebuilding on Vectes

KR Eight-Zero later scouted the Stranded settlement on the island after a pall of smoke was spotted coming from it, and discovered that it had been set on fire.
