−	*; Sortek Assault Craft (Interdictor) : Designed for electronic warfare at the request of AFFS, this variant of the Sortek uses a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] as the primary equipment payload. 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.

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> ==Weapons and Equipment== 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 Sortek's main offensive firepower comes from its dual [[Mydron Tempest]] rotary Class 2 autocannons. These front-mounted weapons draw shells from the two tons of ammunition stored in its hull. Adding to its defensive layer is a single [[MainFire Point Defense]] anti-missile system, which is also mounted forward.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', pp. 18-19, 65 Sortek Assault Craft - BV.</ref> ==Variants== *;Sortek Assault Craft (Interdictor) : Designed for electronic warfare at the request of AFFS, this variant of the Sortek uses a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] as the primary equipment payload.
