A muscular winged man comes on-screen, wearing light combat armor.
"Greetings to you all. I am General Luro of the Hawkman Military. I've been ordered by Lord Vultan to display some of our current technology, and give some information on it. As of yet, these units aren't for sale. At least, not until we can come up with something better. But anyway, let's begin."
Kestrel Pulse Rifle 005
http://home.earthlink.net/~peterpank/hawkrifle.jpg
"This is our standard issue rifle. It has a 90 round box clip, firing 10mm projectiles. It's 35 inches long and weighs 20 lbs loaded. It can fire 360 rounds per minute in pulse bursts, and has an infra-red targeting system. the range is 2000 meters."
Ospery Personal Cannon 030
http://home.earthlink.net/~peterpank/hawkcannon.jpg
"Here is our anti-armor air infantry personal cannon, good for tearing things that have armor plating into parts. It has a 30 round canister clip firing 30 mm armor-piercing teflon coated shells. After piercing the armor, an incendiary charge in the shell explodes, sending bits of molten copper about for a 50 foot radius. it's 45 inches long and weighs 40 lbs loaded. A fire rate of 20 rounds per minute tends to keep your targets on their toes. Maximum range is 2250 meters, and also has an IR targetting system.

Engine Life: 1 week before requiring a total battery drain and recharge.
Eagle II Short Range Fighter
http://home.earthlink.net/~peterpank/hawkfighter.jpg
This is our defense fighter. They run escort for our shuttles and transports, and defend us from aggressive outsiders.
Length: 5.2 meters

Pelican Deep-Space Transport
http://home.earthlink.net/~peterpank/hawktransport.jpg
And finally our deep space transport. This is used to transport goods and personnel between worlds. Not very pretty or agile, but it does the job well.
Length: 95 meters
Width: 50 meters
Height: 22.5 meters
Weight:(unloaded) 385 tons
Hull: Layered light Titanium alloy and Cermite 13/14. The inner hull has a thin layer of aluminum.
Crew: 5; Pilot, copilot, 2 engineers and communications officer.
Cockpit: 6 meters long by 4 meters wide by 2.2 meters tall
Passengers: 20 maximum
Air recycling duration: 3 months
Cargo capability: 360 tons
Max air speed: 500 mph for extended periods in atmosphere. Mach 5 for orbital entry.
Max Vacuum landing/takeoff gravity: 2.5
Engines: 4 Electrical Batteries with with Solar Energy converters. Solid Chemical Boosters for orbital insertion are onboard as well, with 10 uses before needing refueling.
Engine Life: 3 months before requiring a total battery drain and recharge.
Armament: 2 40mm pulse laser turrets that swing 300 degrees left and right, and 80 degrees up and down.
Features: The Pelican has 2 unisex restrooms and 2 airlocks (double hatch) joining to the cargo bay. Cargo area has bay doors for loading of large-scale materials. Also contains a passenger area with inertia-absorbing crash chairs. Has storage areas for passenger items and cargo. This unit has a microwave radar that extends for 25,000 kilometers. Wide-band and tight-band radio receiver/transmitter, a food and drink dispenser and a small kitchenette area to make this a sure-fire crowd pleaser.
"And that is our tech so far. We hope that this has been enlightening."
General Luro, out.
