What is "schiavona"

Usage examples of "schiavona".

Xris glanced over at several long-range Scimitars and a Schiavona gunship, belonging to Bear Olefsky, parked on the tarmac.

The cockpit of a long-range Schiavona fighter-bomber is located below the spaceplane's main deck area, separated by a metal railing, accessible down a four-ranged steel ladder.

Designed for interplanetary flights--unlike its short-range counterpart, which is used mainly for ship-to-ship or ship-toplanet operations--the standard long-range Schiavona is self-sustaining.

Once on top of the Schiavona, he reached down to receive a beam rifle and his medical gear handed up to him by Rowan.

In the distance, Xris could see the Schiavona spaceplane hovering near the pods like a distraught mother hen.

When flying a long-range Schiavona with military markings, it made sense to dress the part, and he'd ordered the uniforms brought on board against just such a contingency.

He'd actually shut the shields down and there was nothing more vulnerable in space than a Schiavona with no shields.

The Schiavona glided, apparently aimlessly, around to the far side of NOROF where they worked on the larger vessels.

They'd probably be relieved, in fact, figuring that this nuisance of a Schiavona had managed to repair itself and would now fly away and leave NOROF in peace.

The Schiavona flipped and rolled and sailed up and slid down and went around and over and slipped in between such tight cracks that Xris was certain he could have gone back and found that they'd left paint streaks from their hull on the platform's steel beams.

Harry, program the Schiavona for a return flight and send it back to Olefsky.

The Schiavona had two airlocks, one located on the deck and one up above, in between the gun turrets.
