Trivia

• "Raum-Kampfjet" means "space combat jet [aircraft]" in German.
• A ship similar to the RK5 appears first during a cut-scene in Eye to Eye. It deploys Zarpedon's Mech to the arena and drops a couple of Lost Legion Soldiers before it leaves.
• Two Dahl crafts sharing RK5's model appear in The Dawn of New Pandora. They do not attack and are ranked 10 levels above the player, but can be shot down.
• Multiple copies of this Gunship can be seen at Outfall Pumping Station. They are static and only serve as game scenery.
  • This implies that RK5 is the name of a specific type of spacecraft instead of a single, unique aircraft.
