	==Description==		==Description==
	The '''Sortek Assault Craft''' is a [[thirty-second century]] combat hovercraft, originally produced by Corean Enterprises for the armed forces of the [[Federated Suns]]. Built on [[New Avalon]], Corean Enterprises constructed the craft as a means to repeat its success with its last successful hovercraft, the [[Musketeer]].  The Sortek was used by many [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] combat units by the 3140s to rebuild their devastated forces.  Many [[AFFS]] commanders would mistakenly use the Sortek as a main combatant, which would cause heavy casualties due to the Sortek's lack of being able to deliver a killing blow to a heavier opponent.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', pp. 18-19, 65 Sortek Assault Craft - Background.</ref>		The '''Sortek Assault Craft''' is a [[thirty-second century]] combat hovercraft, originally produced by Corean Enterprises for the armed forces of the [[Federated Suns]].

−	Powering the Sortek is its General Motors 170-rated standard [[fusion engine]], which generally gives the vehicle enough speed to out-flank most of its opponents.  In combination with its speed, the Sortek additionally relies on five tons of [[Valiant Lamellor Special]] Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor to protect it from harm.	+	Powering the Sortek is its General Motors 170-rated standard [[Fusion Engine]], which generally gives the vehicle enough speed to out-flank most of its opponents.  In combination with its speed, the Sortek additionally relies on five tons of [[Valiant Lamellor Special]] Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor to protect it from harm.

The Interdictor uses a more powerful engine to propel it at up to 150 km/h. Additionally, the vehicle benefits from an [[Armored Motive System]], making it far more robust than most other combat vehicles. Another change from the standard model is that the Sortek's main guns are swapped out for a pair of [[Light PPC]]s, while its defensive AMS remains in place. Lastly, the Sortek is also fitted with a [[C3 slave unit]] to give it the ability to coordinate and act as a spotter for other C3 units in its lance.
