================================================================================================
Overview:
    Once upon a time,  there was a hovercraft called the Shrew.  It was a very nice hivercraft,
    fast, ok armor, and it had 5 tons of omnipod space.  Its a pity a VTOL is better at it's
    job...

Capabilities:
    A mid sized VTOL, the Starling is a single pilot attack bird intended to be good enough to
    deal with light threats and cheap enough to be used as filler in militias.
    
    The key features are a well above average air speed, and a third of its weight devoted to
    Omni capacity.

Variants:
    On the larger scale,  the Starling is kinda like weapon carriers.  Everyone quickly
    developed their own.  Cheaper and slower variants exist,  Clan upgrades with ferro-lamellor
    armor have been seen, etc.
    
    Notable configurations:
    Light PPC, capacitor, tcom.
    
    2 medium lasers. M-pulse laser, tcom.
    
    Twin LRM-5s
    
    Troop compartment, chaff pod.
    
    ECM, Active probe, TAG, Flamer
