The second successful design from the Baca Aviation Concern, the a500 Azote (or Scourge) is slightly heavier than the first i-series models. Perhaps most notable is that it carries two engines, which, while not making the Azote any faster than its predecessors (in fact, it is slower), it does allow for incredible stability. The pilot can thus aim the quartet of guns in the nose, two .50 cals and two .40 cals, at any target with great ease. But, despite carrying 360 lbs of armor, the Azote is too slow to engage successfully in dogfights. Most are used by police forces or by private companies to guard ground facilities. And not surprisingly, given BAC's open selling policy, several have been seen around Sky Haven and other mountainous pirate retreats.
