Description[edit]
The Eldingar Hover Sled is a Clan combat vehicle produced by Gorton, Kingsley & Thorpe Enterprises for Clan Ghost Bear. The Eldingar was selected by the Ghost Bears to help build up their Second Line combat units in the post-Jihad era. It was initially deployed among the Clan's second-line forces and former Free Rasalhague Republic combat units.[1]
The vehicle's XL fusion engine allows it to achieve high rates of speed, making it highly effective in engaging raiders. The vehicle is equipped with a 5-ton infantry transport bay to transport battle armor Points to any potential deployment zone. An ECM suite has been fitted to allow it to disrupt the advanced electronics that had become commonplace after the Jihad. Seven and half tons of Ferro-fibrous Armor has been allotted to protect the craft's hull from enemy fire.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The vehicle's weapons are all mounted in its turret, where a single ATM-9 Launcher and three Streak SRM 2s are mounted. The ATM launcher is allotted four tons ammunition, while the Streak launchers share one ton's worth of rounds.[1]
Variants[edit]
- Streak
- An Experimental Tech variant introduced in 3085[3], this vehicle features a pair of Streak LRM-15 launchers and an Angel ECM Suite. The vehicle features a larger turret and omits the standard version's infantry bay[1]. BV(2.0)=1,843[4][3]
- HMMHV ("HumHov")
- An export variant developed in 3103[5], this version removes the missile launchers and replaces them with two Medium Pulse Lasers and an LB 2-X, all of which are tied into a Targeting Computer. It also carries an Angel ECM Suite to disrupt enemy electronic systems. BV (2.0) = 1,269[6][5]
