'Pion' ATV
Light ATV used by the Hyperion Federation designed for firing long range cruise missiles. Fast, it can fire projectiles which stick to objects and neutralize all gravity for objects near them.
They have become a symbol for the Federation as they were the first ATV built by any faction. Fast and powerful, they could even take a few hits before going down. Despite being an artillery vehicle, they could be used on the front line.
They could be used in large numbers.
Despite the Pion holding the ATV title, it is wheeled. It also has a large photon drive mounted to the rear. They are highly multipurpose and reliable, easy to deploy and still powerful. It has earned a reputation for being very commonly used by the HF because of this, but if the missiles take hits they can explode and cause a chain reaction destroying the entire vehicle. This is usually not a problem as it has a powerful bubble shield. The Pion is also relatively cheap and reliable, even for a HF vehicle. The pion set the standard for light ATVs for almost every faction military in the Cluster. It has a length of roughly 10m and width of about 5m, so most light ATVs in general appear to be around that size. Its size would not allow it a massive compliment or any very powerful systems other than its missiles, and much of its internal space is taken up with matter plasma tanks to fabricate more missiles after firing, to restock. Its anti gravity gun is most often used to neutralize enemies at short range, which are unoptimal fighting conditions for this vehicle which is most effective at long and medium range. After being hit, the effected enemy vehicle is likely to fly upwards as it experiences no gravity, hopefully and usually allowing the Pion to fire missiles at it without the effected vehicle being able to fight back. The Pion is an 8-wheeled vehicle. Many wheels provide redundancy and speed for a vehicle so large. Each wheel is larger (but not taller) than a human.
