"Guess you don't need my help at all, Delta. Control, Delta is clear."

—The pilot of KR Five-One, after Centaur Four-Nine destroyed the Troika pinning down Delta-One

KR Five-One was a King Raven unit in the Coalition of Ordered Governments Air Corps that took part in Operation: Hollow Storm.

History

Operation: Hollow Storm

"Delta, KR Five-One is reporting Nemacyst occupying your local airspace. Can you confirm?"

—Anya Stroud, asking Marcus Fenix for confirmation of Nemacyst over Landown

Fifteen years after Emergence Day, during the Assault on Landown, KR Five-One reported to Control that Nemacyst were occupying the airspace over the town. After Delta-One cleared the skies, Five-One killed a Troika gunner that was stationed on a gas station roof. It later provided CAP over Landown, most notably for Rigs near Barrington Square.

Known Crew

• Unidentified Female Pilot: This pilot flew KR Five-One during the Assault on Landown.

Behind the scenes

• KR Five-One won't fly-by and kill the Troika gunner if he's already been killed by the player.
• After Centaur Four-Nine destroys the Troika emplacement in Landown, some dialogue becomes mismatched. KR Five-One and KR Three-Six are mistaken for each other.
  • "Guess you don't need my help at all, Delta. Control, Delta is clear." - Evidently Five-One, as it is hovering over the destroyed Troika emplacement and it is not a gunship variant
  • "Copy, Five-One. Rigs need CAP near Barrington Square." - Anya, correctly acknowledging the chopper as 'Five-One'.
  • "Copy that, Control, Three-Six on its way. See ya on the side, Delta." - Despite being acknowledged as Five-One by Anya, the pilot states that her chopper is Three-Six. Whilst this could actually be Three-Six at the town's perimeter responding to Anya, and that Five-One just didn't acknowledge and went ahead to provide CAP, it doesn't explain the next line of dialogue.
  • "Copy, thanks Five-One." - Marcus, again acknowledging the chopper as Five-One as Anya had done, though after the pilot stated that it was Three-Six.
• As seen in Act 5, KR Three-Six is a King Raven gunship variant, with wing stubs for extra weapon hardpoints. The King Raven in dispute is not a gunship variant, proving it is Five-One. Therefore, it may just be an error in the game and that 'Three-Six on its way' should actually be 'Five-One on its way'.
  • Another possibility is that Five-One was stating that Three-Six would provide CAP instead.
