"Right here, sir. Someone need patching up?"
— Responding upon Alice-130's request of Nightingale.[3]

The EV-44 Nightingale, formally designated the EV-44 Support VTOL, is a support VTOL aircraft in service with the United Nations Space Command since at least February 2531.[4][3]

Specifications

The EV-44 Nightingale is a dedicated support unit that uses its complement of multipurpose restoration drones to heal and repair personnel and vehicles. Its relatively simple construction (aside from the advanced drone system) has made it possible to adapt the Nightingale's modern design blueprint to UNSC Spirit of Fire's older factory models.[4]

The Nightingale is completely unarmed. However, the craft is equipped with various countermeasures, including the ability to deploy both multi-spectrum smokescreens and disposable jammers capable of camouflaging all personnel and vehicles within the target area.[4]

Operational history

"I'm under fire! And all I got is harsh language."
— A Nightingale pilot on Installation 00.[1]

During the Battle of Carrow in September 2558 the Surakan Militia Volunteers used armed Nightingales against Hekabe's forces.[2] In April 2559, Nightingales saw action on Installation 00 during the fight between the Template:UNSCship and the Banished.[1]
