Hover Destroyer
A small, hovering naval destroyer of the Hyperion Federation.
A Hover Destriyer is not a starship but a regular naval ship. It is armed with 4 large plasma cannons focused for range and fire rate.
Its key function lies in its hover drive however; the ship is not capable of floating on it's own but hovers above the water. Because of this, it can achieve high top speeds due to significantly reduced drag. This also gives it a high resistance to bottom attack weapons. Another great advantage of the hover drive is the ability to drive on land, taking cover on islands or providing a naval strike option to forces inland.
As such, they are useful to the federation military because of this versatility.
The nickname of 'persistant bully' was earned for these vehicles endlessly harassing enemy forces even through land. Despite the size of the destroyers they are fast.
