==Overview:==
Due to the changing pace of combat, traditional fire-support units found
themselves in a bind. While they had the firepower to turn the tide of battle,
they often no longer had the speed to deploy where they would be most needed.

This concern was brought to Valiant, the manufacturers of the venerable
Striker tank. After consulting with their engineers, Valiant came up with a
radical proposal to help address this issue: adapting the Striker to a
hovercraft chassis.

This new model is intended as a hit-and-run raider. The SRMs were dropped to
discourage operators from getting too close to the battle. In their place, the
Striker Hovercraft now sports four LRM 5s. As each LRM 5 has its own ton of
ammo, this could theoretically allow for multiple types of ammunition to be
used simultaneously.

Speed was also increased, but the heavier engine necessitated removing armor.
Given it being a raider, however, it was decided that the speed was more
important.

A C3 slave system has also been added, providing the unit with the ability to
tap into a C3 network.

A cargo bay was also added to the vehicle due to some room that was freed up
during the redesign. This space is large enough for three fully-equipped
soldiers to ride along, however their inclusion does appear to be at least a
little contradictory to the new purpose. It is believed that the idea behind
this is to allow the unit to deploy commandos to the field and that the
Striker crew will not be obligated to support them beyond this.
