==Description==
 
==Description==
The '''Humming Bird''' is a search and rescue VTOL, constructed using a mix of [[Primitive Technology|primitive]] and cutting-edge technologies. Produced by Bermuda Combat Systems of [[Booker]] in [[3074]], the vehicle's manufacturer wanting to create a low-cost but highly effective recon VTOL. Conceived for police and security services, its design was left open to allow it be modified for militia service.  Bermuda had used the low-technology construction to compensate for the vehicle's costly sensors.<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: RetroTech'', p. 8</ref>

==Equipment and Capabilities==
Most of the Humming Bird's components are primitive-level technology, including its engine and structure.  In addition, the vehicle uses a single ton of BAR 5 [[primitive armor]] to protect the hull from harm.  The Humming Bird must rely on its speed should it get into a difficult or dangerous situation.
