Typically the Garuda will soften up a battle armor landing zone and then remain on station to provide additional support to the ground forces. The VTOL transports that delivered the battle armor withdraw from the field. Though it has a relatively low top speed, the [[VTOL Jet Booster]] allows a Garuda to put on a burst of speed that enemy forces aren't expecting. Finally, the [[ECM Suite]] mounted in the body disrupts enemy targeting systems. Six and a half tons of Ferro-Fibrous armor protect the Garuda.

==Weapons and Equipment==
+
==Armament==
The Garuda uses an ER Large Laser for most of its firepower. This energy weapon, combined with the fusion power plant, eases logistics. The laser and a TAG system are mounted coaxially in a [[VTOL Chin Turret]], which provides nearly 300° of fire. To provide additional firepower, the Garuda uses a [[Streak LRM-15]] launcher. Equipped with a ton of ammunition, this frugal system won't fire unless it has a target lock. The Streak launcher isn't mounted in the turret however, and can only fire forwards.
