The Nen-Carvon R-19 Paraglider was a civilian glider which found use by the Rebel Alliance Special Forces. The heavily modified glider was covered in reflec panels that baffled standard sensors, allowing for infiltrating behind enemy lines. It's augmented repulsorlift generator could carry a much heavier load in addition to the pilot, and an added pull-down display visor granted the user night-vision, terrain-following and directional modes. It was also equipped with low power transponders to allow troops to locate each other after landing.
Gunman, a member of the paramilitary unit Churhee's Riflemen, had experience with the gliders, likely through his unit's association with the Rebel Alliance.
