SPECIAL FEATURES
- Target Identification Network & Advanced Targeting Computer
- Sensall Active Sensor Array & Aerial Sensor
- Basic Communication array
- Advanced Driod interface (For turrets if unmanned)
- Gravmotor alternator
- NV and Thermal Range finder
- Light Integrated Ionic Insulation
- Back mounted boosters (1 minute cool down)
- Internal sighting for outside view and holograpic display
- Sloped composite/Homogenis Armor
- Bouncing- The sloped armor makes the SPz's armor quite effective against ballistic rounds able to deflect the kinetic force away from away from the impact zone.
- No Place To Hide- The array of small ball laser like those on the LAAT make the SPz's very hard to hide from if your infantry and able to lay down quite an impressive covering fire for a short period of time while deploying troops.
- Got To Go Fast- The speed of this craft can rival that of most land speeders, about to be in and out of a combat zone before the enemy has time to even know they are there. for a quick getaway this is your craft.
- AA- The anti aircraft variant along with radar makes the SPz able to ward off enemy fighters and prevent strafing run against ground troops, useful if the enemy has air superiority.
- Flat Butt- The back of the craft is not sloped and contains the ventilation system for the repulsion meaning it is more vulnerable to attack and if damaged may cause the craft to overheat.
- Big Brothers- Though having standard armor due to sloping and decent EMP protection the SPz is still not match for dedicated front line combat craft. As such anti-tank weaponry from larger craft are able to take it out much faster without the SPz able to return adequate fire.
Similar to other transports this craft main purpose is to take soldiers and their equipment to front line or for rabid deployment and main assault support. It's array of weapons and other features making the SPz usable in almost any terrain and against most enemy combatants aside from some medium and heavy vehicles. When out of combat zones this craft can be used for scouting, recon or just general errand running for military compounds due to it's large carrying capacity.
Operating Use
The Spz works at peak performance regardless of peak or minim crew, the integrated droid VI able to adequately take command of the craft weapon. In the field it can be used for a wide range of roles on the battle field, from APC, transporting and even if needed light armored infantry fighting vehicle. When away from combat such a craft can be used for non military purposes
Defense Spec
Though not having the thickest armor the SPz's trapezium shaped hull allows decent amount of kinetic force to be deflected in different direction, the integrated EMP protection keeping it's electronic driven armament safe for the most part. Still pilots should still not engage with enemies directly unless necessary as a few good placed hits on the vehicle will take it down with relative ease.
