Orbital Recon and Attack Craft (ORAC)

A ORAC was a high speed Orbiting ship that was used to take recon and espionage during a battle. Also if nessecary it could strafe or attack from its incredibly high altitude and completely destroy all in its way. It generally caried 175mm shells, 100mm shells, 50mm laser cannons and 25mm cannons. It generally traveled at the speed of roughly 450,000  MPH.

Use During Battle
During any land assault across a planet, one or more ORAC's would be orbiting the squadron or leigon providing recon to the leader of the squadron, and defense if needed. Since they travel at an incredibly high speed other than light speed, they are very hard to be shot down.
