The Cicogna (Stork) is a Tellian "short take-off and landing" (STOL) aircraft formerly manufactured by the Officine Meccaniche d'Tellia SA before its liquidation following the collapse of the Minarborian portion of the Tellian Condominium. Designed for short-range reconnaissance and light transport, the aircraft is primarily used for army liaison and communication flights.
Alongside the Te.42 Sagittario the Cicogna is one of the ubiquitous legacy aircraft available to state forces and local militias in the Imperial Republic in an era when almost all modern equipment on the Benacian continent, outside of Kalgachia and Kasterburg, has been appropriated and or cannibalised for parts by the voracious military-industrial system embodied by the Raspur Pact.
