The teron Lightning is a fast attack and reconnaissance unit, deployed in all Conglomerate ground forces. It is used both for patrol and combat support duties, able to cover vast distances with incredible speed.
The Lightning has light gravity shielding, and a thin layer of monocrystalline armor. It cannot withstand much fire, even from more primitive weapons, so it must rely on its speed and maneuverability to stay in the fight. Equipped with three impulse thrusters on independent pylons, the Lightning enjoys unparalleled agility, able to turn on a dime and accelerate far faster than peer vehicles. It can hit a top speed of 300 miles per hour, easily outrunning even the fastest scout bikes of more primitive races.
Lightnings carry a turret-mounted cyclone cannon, which, unlike lighter infantry-scale gravity drivers and more powerful vortex cannons, fires a constant stream of gravitic waves. This powerful weapon will tear apart infantry and light vehicles alike, but is very energy intensive, only able to fire for short bursts, and requiring a lengthy recharge.
These speedy attack units are a staple of Conglomerate ground forces, perfect for patrolling troubled worlds and quickly responding to pirate raids. They serve well as the most common vehicle equivalent in the Conglomerate Army.
