Recognition notes

The Lightning Attack Hovercraft (Royal) is a 35-ton hover combat vehicle fielded as a striker, cruising at 119 km/h and topping out near 184. It carries the base model's paired medium pulse lasers in the front, but drops the SRM 4 OS mounted on the right side and the SRM 4 OS mounted on the left side in favor of a TAG and two Streak SRM 2 launchers, all in the front. The crew rides behind ferro-fibrous plate on a fusion-powered hull. Curtiss Industries builds the type at New Stevens.
