Land Skimmer

The Land Skimmer is a single-occupant hovercraft-like vehicle used by the abhuman race of the Elkiedai. The vehicles are often armed with a pair of small Arc guns on either side near the front capable of rapid-fire for a short time.
Land Skimmers have the ability to boost and to barrel roll. This, in combination with their fast speed, makes them a nimble and highly maneuverable weapon in a fight. 
It may sound like rusted junk, but it moves like a shark, swift and fast, lightning crackles in the engine, the Houses deploy these for harassing enemies or as patrols vehicles. They can be easily repaired and put into use as well, They are also made from scavenged parts, making them unpredictable in their stlye and armament.
There is even an event called "Skimmer Racing", which is a dangerous game as anything goes with weapons hot. Lots of casualties and money involved. Even interesting prizes are involved including unique Skimmer variants, though at times the bids can be swindled with individuals taking cuts of bets and organizing most of the events with securities, clean ups, etc..
== Variants ==
=== Heavy Skimmer ===
The Heavy Skimmer is a variant of the Land Skimmer first utilized by the Elkiedai House of Crowns, and later the House of Retribution and Vindication.
It has a slower rate of fire than the standard Land Skimmer, but fires explosive-damage rounds. Also, strafing causes the Land Skimmer to fire bouncing Shock Grenades. Like the ordinary Land Skimmer its boost will eventually run out and requires a moment to recharge. Its armor is significantly stronger than a Alfen Sparrow or Land Skimmer.
While an ordinary Skimmer has only a single central engine, the Heavy Skimmer has seven: four upper offset engines, two lower maneuvering engines, and a central, boosting engine. When boosting, the maneuvering engines will align with the central engine.
