Recognition notes

The Skimmer is a 5-ton hover combat vehicle built for the scout role, cruising at 184 km/h and capable of topping out near 281, extraordinarily fast even among hover craft. A small laser sits at the front, and a flamer covers the rear arc. The crew rides behind standard armor, with no other systems carried. Various manufacturers build the type at various sites.
