Recognition notes
The Hoverbike is a 1.2-ton hover support vehicle fielded as a scout, built for the close-in fight. It cruises at 130 km/h and can push to 194, remarkably fast for so small a machine. A support laser and a machine gun (support) both sit in the front, giving the crew a pair of short-range weapons to work with. The hull carries BAR 7 armor and a fuel cell engine, with no other equipment fitted.
