The Swift Assault 5 Hoverscout is a ground vehicle that doesn't use repulsors to generate lift, but instead uses hover engines to generate an air cushion to the same effect. Although not as fast or maneuverable as repulsorcraft, the hoverscout has a better track record with regards to maintenance and breakdowns and is easier to maintain and operate. Designed for reconnaissance and offensive point operations, the versatile craft can operate alone or with infantry and armor support, conduct raids in groups or act as rearguard. It has been used by the Galactic Empire on many worlds.

  • The Swift Assault 5 Hoverscout is a ground vehicle that doesn't use repulsors to generate lift, but instead uses hover engines to generate an air cushion to the same effect. Although not as fast or maneuverable as repulsorcraft, the hoverscout has a better track record with regards to maintenance and breakdowns and is easier to maintain and operate. Designed for reconnaissance and offensive point operations, the versatile craft can operate alone or with infantry and armor support, conduct raids in groups or act as rearguard. It has been used by the Galactic Empire on many worlds. The hoverscout is capable of taking a direct hit, while still being able to maneuver properly. The extensive field of vision for the crew is made possible by the use of ceraglass windscreens, made from a ceramic alloy that is transparent and tough as armor. The environment is closed and recyclable, and all hatches and weapons ports have to be sealed. Long-range communications and EPR sensors linked with the weaponry are standard equipment on-board the craft, while specialized comm gear and sensors have to be added according to each mission profile. To help supplement power generation, energy is recycled from the hoverscout's air-cushion, which gives the craft a longer range than similar vehicles. To get across minor obstacles, the powerful Kasmin turbopumps can push the aircushion to its limits and float the craft across.
