==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Buraq''' is a [[Clan]] medium-weight Quad [[battle armor]], which was designed by [[Clan Hell's Horses]] during the early [[thirty-second century]]. The horselike Buraq was named for the [[w:Buraq|mystical steed]] from ancient times, and like its mystical namesake, the battle armor is noted for its high ground speed. Typically, Clan Hell's Horses have used full [[Star (Formation)|Stars]] consisting of different variants of the battle armor. These Buraq Stars work as a team in their appointed mission assignments. They've been utilized on the Horses' [[Periphery]] borders to help scout and pin down [[pirate]]s terrorizing their worlds.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 6: Buraq - Background info</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
The Buraq's main feature is its [[myomer booster]], which enables the machine to reach its notable high speeds. Operators of the Buraq must rely on their speed for protection, as it's only protected by 175 kg of [[standard armor]]. For its role as a scouting unit, the Buraq has improved communication gear and mounts a single [[searchlight]]. As weaponry goes, the standard version mounts two machine guns on the body, with 50 rounds of ammunition split between the two guns.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 The Clans'', p. 7: Buraq - stats and abilities information</ref>
