Description
The Sortek Assault Craft is a 32nd 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 means repeat its success with last successful hovercraft, the Musketeer. The Sortek was used by many AFFS combat units by 3140s to rebuild their devastated forces. Many AFFS Commanders mistakenly would use the Sortek as main combatant, cause heavy casualties due to Sortek's lack being able to deliver a killing blow to heavy opponent.[2]
Armament and Capacities
Powering the Sortek is its General Motors 170-rated standard Fusion Engine, which gives the vehicle to generally out flank most its opponents. With combination of its speed to protect it from harm, the Sortek additionally relies on five tons of Valiant Lamellor Special Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor.
The Sortek's main offensive weaponry falls on its dual Mydron Tempest Rotary Class 2 Autocannons. These front mounted weapons draws from its two tons of ammunitions which lie in its hull. Adding part of its defensive layer is a single Anti-Missile System also mounted forwards.[3]
Variants
- Sortek Assault Craft (Interdictor) - Designed for electronic warfare by the request of AFFS, this variant of the Sortek uses Guardian ECM Suite as primary equipment payload. The Interdictor uses more powerful engine to propel it upwards to 150 kph. Additionally, the vehicle benefits from a Armored Motive System, making it far robust than most combat vehicles. Changed from the standard model, Sortek's main guns are swapped out for pair of Light PPCs, while its defensive AMS remains in place. Lastly, the Sortek is also fitted with C3 Slave Unit give it the ability coordinate and act as spotter for other C3 units in its lance. BV (2.0)=884[4]
Notes
The Sortek Assault Craft was first created by Wizkids' MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures game as a part of its Death from Above expansion set. It was later adapted by Catalyst Game Labs and redefined once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to 3145.
As of this time, CGL's official Master Unit List does not list a profile for this unit, thus no production year is available.
