------------------------------------------------------------------------------
==Overview:==
More of an IFV than a light tank, the Centavo (so named because it was
supposed to represent effectiveness at low cost) represents Quikscell's
attempt at expanding its market share. 

The base selling point for the vehicle is the fact that it's a hovercraft. As
a light tank, it can get in and out of sniping positions rapidly, allowing it
to run the battlefield and wear down targets with its AC/2 (the weight of the
hover fans prevented use of an AC/5). As a troop transport, its speed lets it
run back and forth dropping off infantry. 

The infantry bay is surprisingly large, big enough to allow a reinforced squad
or single soldier on a motorcycle with another soldier on foot. This has also
become a selling point, as it allows for slightly increased tactical
flexibility; that extra soldier could be a medic, commando, or jet pack
trooper.
