==Overview:==

The HD-8 chassis was designed by Harley-Davidson  to be able to operate inside

industrial buildings. This tiny quad is so compact that is can easily operate

inside on factories and warehouses.





==Capabilities:==

The HD-8 is not particularly fast but its compact quad layout enables it to

fit into places that even the 10 ton bipeds would be hard pressed to go .The E

type packs a quartet of ER small lasers giving it the ability to damage light

vees and while its armour is typicaly light because of its small size its

ability to operate inside buildings enable it to fire upon larger units and

survive because it can use the walls of the building for extra protection.



==Deployment==

The HD-8 type is used primarily for plant security.
