==Overview:==
This vehicle has begun to appear in some of the Prehiphery Kingdoms as well
a handful of mercenary units. It is unknown whether or not the design is be
shared or if the simplicity of it has lead to it being easily copied and
renamed.
The entire purpose of the vehicle is as a light, fast, and fairly cheap fir
support vehicle. By making it a hovercraft, it was given the ability to go
over even water if it needed to. The turret also has a quirk in it in which
can raise and lower precisely even if the turret motors are not maintained
properly, leading to additional accuracy.
==Capabilities:==
For those making rules based on fluff:
The Marian Hegenomy version plays havoc with infantrymen. If it is a foot
patrol, then each turn in the field they must make a savings roll of 5 +
(1/every 30 minutes in the bay), with the minimum being 5. For each turn th
they fail, they can only make half normal movement.
The turret design quirk offers the following bonuses:
1. The unit does not suffer a penalty if it is firing at a target standing
level above it. It only suffers half the penalty if firing at an airborne
target above it.
2. The penalty for firing indirectly is +3 rather than +4.
The resiliancy and adaptability of the unit cuts all repair times and costs
down to 75% of normal.
==Variants:==
Due to the wide number of users of the vehicle, many varients have been
spotted in which the launchers were traded out for something else. In the
Marian Hegenomy many units mount rocket launchers rather than regular
missiles; although more cramped than normal the ammo bays are turned into
either cargo or infantry bays.
