Description
The Skimmer-class hovercraft is extremely fast, but only lightly armed and armored. Usable as a one- or two-man vehicle, it is typically used by scouts, for battlefield reconnaissance or for quick travel during the late Succession Wars era.[2]
There were no rules yet for Design Quirks when the Skimmer was published, but it is described to possess the special ability that it may enter light woods, a terrain normally forbidden for hovercraft. (A successful Driving roll is required for the attempt, but it is not stated what happens when the roll fails.)[3]
Armament
The Skimmer features a forward-firing small laser and a rear-firing flamer.
