Line 26: Being the first of three well-known hovertanks built by [[Scarborough Limited]], the '''Saracen''' was developed towards the end of the [[Third Succession War]]. It used an [[internal combustion engine]] instead of the [[fusion reactor]] older vehicles mounted because Scarborough hoped that the lower cost and maintenance requirements would boost sales in the LosTech-aftermath of the Succession Wars. They were correct and shortly after created two other vehicles based on the Saracen, the [[Scimitar]] and the [[Saladin]]. Although it is used throughout the [[Inner Sphere]], [[House Marik]] fields the greatest number of this potent skirmisher.<ref name=TRO:3039p48-49/><ref name=TRO:3026p34-35>''Technical Readout: 3026'', pp. 34-35, "Saracen"</ref><ref name=TRO:3026Rp38-39>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', pp. 38-39, "Saracen Vehicle Profile"</ref> Being the first of three well-known hovertanks built by [[Scarborough Limited]], the '''Saracen''' was developed towards the end of the [[Third Succession War]].

Its weapons are designed for maximum effect against other vehicles, using a mix of long and short-range missiles mounted in its turret. It has endeared itself to its crews due to its reliability and ruggedness and forms the backbone of many striker units. On the downside, it highly depends on ammunition and thus needs constant supply. This drawback is minimized as the design is meant as a raider or skirmisher and not meant for long-term engagements.<ref name=TRO:3039p48-49/><ref name=TRO:3026p34-35/><ref name=TRO:3026Rp38-39/> + The Saracen is a typical example for a well-designed hovercraft: it is fast, topping out at about 130kp/h, and decently armored.
