Scaha Hovertank Prime - Record Sheet BV2 listing.</ref> }} ==Description== The '''Scapha Hovertank''' is a [[thirty-second century]] Hover [[OmniVehicle]] which was originally exclusively produced for the [[RAF|Armed Forces]] of the [[Republic of the Sphere]]. Built by [[Grumman Industries]] on [[Terra]] in [[3123]], the Scapha was designed with the best technologies of its time. It would go on to serve in multiple roles in the RAF due to its flexibility and firepower. The design was highly popular in the service of the RAF well into the fall of most the Republic's Prefectures to invading forces after [[3132]]. While part of many Republic Standing Guard units, the Scapha was noted for delaying the fall of many Republic worlds.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', p. 20 Scapha - Background.</ref> ==Weapons and Equipment== Designed as a fast and flexible tank, the Scapha is powered by a Strand 265-rated [[extra-extralight fusion engine]], giving excess speed. Despite the cost of the engine and its bulkiness, the Scapha has thirteen tons of [[pod space]] for weapons and equipment. Protecting its armored hide is 7.5 tons of Grumman CRR [[Reflective Armor]] which dampens the damage caused by [[energy weapon]]s. The vehicle's Primary Configuration is designed for both reconnaissance and electronic warfare. Mounted in its Pod space for this role is an [[Angel ECM Suite]] and a [[Bloodhound Probe]]. The vehicle's speed is increased thanks to the addition of a [[supercharger]], allowing it to reach speeds upwards of 220 km/h. The Scapha's firepower comes from a pair of turret-mounted [[Light PPC|Light PPCs]] guided by a [[Targeting Computer]].<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Republic of the Sphere'', pp. 20-21 & 72 Scapha - Stats.</ref> ==Alternate Configurations== *; Alternate Configuration A : Despite it being only armed with a singular weapon, the A Configuration's firepower is considerable. Mounted in the vehicle's turret is a single [[RAC/5]], which is fed by 3 tons of ammunition.
