== Description ==
The '''Lewis Skimmer Bus''' is a large Hover civilian transport, which was introduced during the [[3026|last decade]] of the [[Third Succession War]] by the S. L. Lewis Incorporated. The vehicle is designed to be multiple purpose passenger vehicle & cargo, with plainclothes police who would assist in protecting its cargo should it be valuable. The Skimmer came into fruition on heels of success of the company's [[Savannah Master]] hovercraft, with Skimmer Bus being first entry into the civilian market place.

The bus was at times pressed into military service during the Third Succession War, with its most noted usage being as an auxiliary infantry transport, ferrying troops to the front lines on [[Sevren]], where [[APC]]s were in short supply.<ref name="TRO:VAp54"/><ref name="TRO:VArp64"/>

The vehicle is built on a large chassis, which it can handle 18 tons of cargo (accessible from its rear door) while ferrying 86 passengers to their destination. It is powered by a hydrogen [[fuel cell]] power plant, allowing to be clean and inexpensive alternative to air travel in some cases. The vehicle's hull is protected by 1.5 tons of Commercial Armor, which gives it modest protection for civilian use, however risky should it be used for military purposes.<ref name="TRO:VAp54"/><ref name="TRO:VArp64"/>
