Technical and Historical Data
The Dish is a traditional EWAC aircraft initially employed by the Earth Federation to both provide crucial battlefield information to its field commanders and act as an electronic warfare unit to jam enemy communications and signals. With the prevalence of Minovsky particles the functions of the Dish has been shifted and focused on detecting threats and as a station to relay messages from units engaged in battle headquarter companies.
