Recognition notes
The J. Edgar Light Hover Tank (LAC) is a 25-ton hover combat vehicle serving as a scout, built around an internal combustion engine in place of the base model's fusion plant. That swap costs speed: cruising falls from 119 to 86 km/h and top speed from 184 to 130 km/h, though it remains brisk for its class. The turret that carried a medium laser and paired SRM 2 launchers on the original mounts no armament here, and Heavy Ferro-Fibrous plate replaces the Standard armor. Alphard Trading Corporation builds the type at Addhara.
