Hovermobile

GURPS Vehicles 2nd Edition

The hovermobile is pretty representative of those found on the Colonies, and the model listed below can be considered an average family version. Hovercraft are the staple transport in Colonial space for civilians and are generally used for all purposes save for heavy cargo transport when generally tracked vehicles are used. They do come in many other versions such as sports models and larger seat people carriers.

Colonial hovercraft technology is advanced enough to mean that their vehicles do not need side skirts to contain the air from the fans and the lift generated is concentrated directly below the vehicle so there is not a side wash of air that spills out from the side of the vehicle.
