Description
This is the bottom perspective view of one of my original designs, the Nova Type-3 a 2nd Generation Hovering Tank Destroyer

Basic Description:

The Nova series of tanks are among the longest serving in The United Empire of Dimension's history, with this, the Type-3 being designed as part of the UED's ground forces in their second generation of development. The Type-3 follows in it's direct predecessor's example, being a Hovering Tank Destroyer, rather than an MHT as with the Type-1, however it makes multiple improvements over the Type-2 and uses entirely new technology within it's design. The Type-3 was built to be able to provide a heavy amount of firepower very quickly and be able to adapt to shifting battlefields even quicker, as such the overall design is built for speed normally something that repulsor based vehicles aren't known for by comparison to wheeled or tracked contemporaries, however UED designers got around this with the installation of several repulsor driven turboprop engines at the back of the chassis, one main engine in the center, with four smaller engines closer to the bottom of the chassis, giving it unparalleled speed. To pair with the powerful prop engines a new far more flexible and maneuverable Repulsor Grid was added to the bottom of the vehicle, increasing the efficiency of it's ability to hover far more than it's predecessors while making it more agile, as well as giving some redundancy when damaged. The armament of the Type-3 consists of a Light Plasma Cannon (Turbolaser in true multiverse) mounted centrally on the craft, as well as having to armatures each mounting a Twin Light Plasma Blaster Cannon, and the front scoop mounting two launchers each housing three launch tubes for Anti-Vehicle Proton Torpedoes. This substantial increase in firepower affords the Type-3 the ability to rove the battlefield and pick off any target it can reasonably engage on it's own, or being able to group up to take on much larger targets, making them excellent for flanking maneuvers or ground based hunter killer groups. The protection of the Type-3 includes a balanced mix of armoured plating and deflector shields, but also sees the inclusion of a cloaking device, although it can only maintain cloak for a relatively short period of time and cannot fire it's weapons without dropping it's cloak first. The cloaking device is also a double edged sword as the tank will have no shields while the cloak is active, making it vulnerable if caught up in indirect or accidental fire from enemy positions.
