Thresher
The Thresher and its capibility to hover makes it the fastest and most agile of all the empire specific Assault buggies.
Designed for a two-person crew, a driver and a gunner position are oriented side-by-side.
The gunner has access to the top-mounted "Flux Cannon," capable of firing at high speeds in the full arc of horizontal motion. With a magazine of 100 rounds, the gunner can fire for a good length without reloading.
Driving the Thresher is similar to driving and maneuvering other Hovercraft. The open cockpit allows the driver and the gunner to wear up to Reinforced Exo-Suit.
