ImageThe Imperial Shigei Directorate has commissioned the immediate fabrication of the Washigei Reconnaissance Vehicle. The Washigei vehicle is the main tool for the acquisition of information on the position and defenses of the enemies of the Empire. It is an unmanned vehicle that may be fitted with a rear-facing, high-resolution camera, capable of recording up to 2 hours of full color video and audio*. Just switch the camera on, drop it in the payload bay and you're good to go! It is that easy!

The construction details of the Washigei vehicle remain classified. They may only be revealed to members of the Washigei Reconnaissance Corps, However, this advanced vehicle has a front engine / rear payload arrangement, laser-cut parts, plywood fins and centering rings and a baffle-protected Nylon parachute. Powered by your choice of powerful 29mm engines, the Washigei can fly low like a Sparrow or high like an Eagle!
