Hopper attack craft

"Look at this sweet baby. She's fast, tough, easy to fix...and she's got inbuilt air-conditioning, best of all."

- A Simiyar tech on the Hopper

The  was a light attack vehicle used by various small factions and mercenaries during the Cruentusian War. Built originally by Simiyar Tech but copied by smaller, independent workshops, the Hopper was popular amongst mercenaries and independent warlords. Nominally equipped with a microwave emitter that could fry unprotected infantry, the weapon of the Hopper was easily removed and it was often replaced by armnament such as machineguns or missile launchers. For this reason, the Hopper gained a reputation for versatility. However, its armour was on the whole very poor against heavy vehicles.
