Overview

Executive’s engineers were never totally happy with the Gemini, particularly its short range as it prevented it from escorting long-haul flights. An improvement programme was duly undertaken, resulting in the release of the E-5 Delta Long-Range Escort. Along with the Gemini, the Delta soon became an escort of choice for many spacelines and traders.

Notable Features

The E-5 Delta represents an evolution of the Gemini in response to customer demand for an escort/interceptor craft in which speed and endurance is of greater priority than manoeuvrability. Fitted with the same avionics suite found in the Gemini, the Delta is perfectly suited to act as an escort to large, long-range transports, or as a high-speed interceptor for police and security organisations.
