- "Attention ground forces. The pass towards Landown is clear. We'll cover your back. Three-Six over."
- —The pilot of KR Three-Six after the initial Nemacyst attack
KR Three-Six was a King Raven unit in the Coalition of Ordered Governments Air Corps that took part in the Siege of Jacinto and Operation: Hollow Storm.
History
Attack on Jacinto Med
KR Three-Six provided covering fire for Gears in Sector 4 during the Locust attack on Jacinto Med.[4]
Operation: Hollow Storm
Assault on Landown
- "Control, this is KR Three-Six. Sky is inked up. Remaining at town's perimeter, over."
- —The pilot of KR Three-Six, reporting Nemacyst over Landown
On the road to Landown during Operation: Hollow Storm, KR Three-Six provided air support for the Rig groups.[5] Three-Six later recommended that all rigs evacuate directly to Landown after reporting that they were being overrun.[6] It later reported that the sky above Landown had too many Nemacyst in the air to be able to provide cover.[7]
Sinking of Jacinto
- "Heads up. Reaver on the South platform"
- —The pilot of KR Three-Six
During the Sinking of Jacinto, KR Three-Six attempted to approach the south landing platform at Jacinto Command, but was unable to land due to a Reaver and several Grapplers being on it. It opened fire, assisting Col. Hoffman, Delta-One, and several other Gears in clearing the platform. It then went to check the east and north perimeters. When Brumaks were sighted approaching the Command building, Three-Six requested status update on them.[1]
Known Crew
Unknown female pilot
Current Status: on active duty

Behind the Scenes
- After Centaur Four-Nine destroys the Troika emplacement in Landown, some dialogue becomes mismatched. KR Three-Six and KR Five-One are mistaken for each other.
- "Guess you don't need my help at all, Delta. Control, Delta is clear." - Evidently Five-One, as it is hovering over the destroyed Troika emplacement and it is not a gunship variant.
- "Copy, Five-One. Rigs need CAP near Barrington Square." - Anya, correctly acknowledging the chopper as 'Five-One'.
- "Copy that, Control, Three-Six on its way. See ya on the side, Delta." - Despite being acknowledged as Five-One by Anya, the pilot states that her chopper is Three-Six. Whilst this could actually be Three-Six at the town's perimeter responding to Anya, and that Five-One just didn't acknowledge and went ahead to provide CAP, it doesn't explain the next line of dialogue.
- "Copy, thanks Five-One." - Marcus, again acknowledging the chopper as Five-One as Anya had done, though after the pilot stated that it was Three-Six.
- As seen in Act 5, KR Three-Six is a King Raven gunship variant, with wing stubs for extra weapon hardpoints. The King Raven in dispute is not a gunship variant, proving it is Five-One. Therefore, it may just be an error in the game and that 'Three-Six on its way' should actually be 'Five-One on its way'.
- Another possibility is that Five-One was stating that Three-Six would provide CAP instead.
