Hover Transports are heavy truck versions of skimmers. They can have open or enclosed cargo areas.

Military Modifications

Do to their size and cargo capacity, it is not unusual for hover transports to be outfitted with weapons and armor. On most civilized worlds, operating a modified combat vehicle without proper permits or authority is highly illegal. Such vehicles are typically modified into mobile weapon platforms or armed troop carriers. Vehicles fitted with concealable weapons and armor fittings are likely designed for criminal activity or insurgency.

If armed, a ground transport can be fitted with up to two vehicular turrets of any size, up to 15 coats of armor (5 for concealed coats) and up to 16 slots for vehicle-mounted weapons. Each coat costs 10,000 credits (this includes reflective coating), or 13,000 for concealed coats. Screens, such as Albedo or Inertia, are powered by an econopack — 250 SEU, 25kg, 1250 credits — and requires 15,000 credits for assorted systems and adapters.
