The R-19 Paraglider from Nen-Carvon was originally intended for civilian use, but the Rebel Alliance Special Forces adopted it for their purposes. To facilitate covert operations, this significantly altered glider incorporated reflec panels, which disrupted conventional sensor readings, enabling clandestine insertions past enemy defenses. Furthermore, its enhanced repulsorlift system provided the capability to transport substantial payloads beyond just the pilot. A retractable heads-up display offered the operator night vision, terrain-following capabilities, and navigational assistance. Low-power transceivers were integrated to facilitate post-landing coordination among deployed personnel.
Gunman, an operative within the paramilitary group known as Churhee's Riflemen, possessed prior expertise in operating these gliders.
