================================================================================================
Overview:
    Originally developed for the dreaded Word of Blake's Militia, the Ionosphere is meant to be
    a medium-tonnage hit-and-runner that exploits its Improved Jump Jets to rapidly reposition.
    Its effectiveness (and lack of a C3i computer) would allow it to survive via a new
    mannufacturing contract with the Republic of the Sphere.

Capabilities:
    DESIGN QUIRKS: Combat Computer, Narrow/Low Profile, Nimble Jumper, Difficult to Maintain
