==Overview:==
(designer notes:

I found this design while thumbing through the assorted vehicles in the HMP
program. I wondered what it was that made this thing so heavy - after all, it
was 40 tons. I found out that this design was really an example of a vicious
cycle - it was a heavy machine, and so needed a heavy engine to keep it going
at that speed. I found that I could drop the machine down to 5 tons and not
only keep the same speed but also drop on a full ton of cargo at cost of a
half-ton of armor. With this, I now give it some fluff.)

This design here is an armored hover transport. Due to its thick armor and
rapid speed, it is a popular unit for transit of "light" yet "valuable" goods
such as hard currency and convited criminals.
