Hover Tank (Kestral)

Unit Summary: Great offensive and defensive units, they can virtually attack any ground unit and make excellent additions to any attack force.

Over the fields of carnage glides the Kestral, deceptively graceful, a veritable raptor of war. Not so elephantine as the Mastiff, the Kestral surpasses its larger cousin in maneuverability. Flocks of Kestrals confound their quarry through the execution of synchronized and precise flanking actions, and I maintain that the Kestral finds a perverse satisfaction in the terror of a doomed platoon whose members realize they have been irrevocably cut off from the main body.

Then oh, horror! the Kestrals circle in, gradually tightening the arc of their flight, strafing the hapless soldiers with all manner of energies, and the sizzle of charred flesh is as sweet to the predators as is incense to the pious priest.

Hover Tank Killer (Eagle)

Unit Summary: Fast and effective armored units good at taking out other armored units.

"The Pitbull is a formidable foe, and when besieged by the creatures the wise general, setting aside his distrust of the Guilds and their arts, procures the services of that creature the Guild's Engineers dub the Eagle. Like the Urthly bird that is its namesake, it darts and hovers among its slower enemies, lancing them with all manner of sorcerously invoked energies, in the manner of a Pyrian needle-flower using its weaponry to bring down its prey."

  Dorian Hawkwood, A Military History of the Diaspora

Hover Anti Air (Peregrine)

Unit Summary: Much more effective than early anti-aircraft units, it should be used as the primary defense against aircraft. They also make excellent additions to aircraft strike forces.

Hateful falcon! How many proud pilots hast thou brought down in fire and ruin, to dash in pieces atop the wreckage of their cities? How many of Urth's sons and daughters hast thou scoped in thy malevolent gaze, and calmly glided beneath, and shot thy fiery talons to rend asunder?
