Akian Skyguard Light Armored Vehicle (Military Landcraft)

The Skyguard is a wheeled light armored vehicle intended for air defense and point defense operations. It is used by the ground-mobile forces of the Akian army, and it is also exported in moderate numbers. The Sea League (Overnale) is known to have a number in service. Most of the power plant capacity is dedicated to the laser, and endurance can be increased by a factor of about three if no combat power is required.
