Developed for use on [[Human colonies|frontier worlds]] by [[Vestol Corporation]], the JOV-99 was intentionally made to be easily-transportable, low-cost, reliable, and easy to maintain. Very few of the craft's components need to be sourced from the [[Inner Colonies]], resulting in most Kestrel production being handled by colonial industries and contractors. Several elements of the JOV-99 Kestrel were borrowed by [[Misriah Armory]] in their development of the [[AV-30 Kestrel|AV-30 Light Assault VTOL]], also | Developed for use on [[Human colonies|frontier worlds]] by [[Vestol Corporation]], the JOV-99 was intentionally made to be easily-transportable, low-cost, reliable, and easy to maintain.
