Pilot

A crucial member of any A.P Team, the pilot is the default transporter of the team from Base to Area of Operation. Some pilots are also Mechajocks. All are trained in LandMate combat. As Heinlein predicted in the 20th Century, many pilots are female as their hand-eye coordination, reflexes and ability to mentally multi-task often test as superior to males. Because of the One Year War and the bloody, internecine combat of the 21st Century, the Army of the Universal Century is almost evenly split between men and women. But being a pilot is being a member of the "Girls Club". Pilots are often small arms experts and marksmen rather than heavy weaponeers.
