Re: Corvus Drop Ship

Odd that they would name a drop ship Corvus, not an assault shuttle.
Corvus
of course being the name for the ramp used on Roman warships for
boarding
actions. Corvuc also menaing Crow in latin. The big spike on the end of
the
ramp looked like a crow's beak, hence the name. Damn practical people,
them
Romans. Oh and I'd like too see photos too. I have the Grendel APC, very
cool.
