Design
The Imperial ionocraft was held aloft and propelled by a series of thrusters mounted about the chassis. Its armament consisted of two energy weapons mounted on the leading edges of the craft's wings, which were powerful enough to penetrate the frontal armor of an Alliance tank. With a two man crew as standard, it was common practice for the soldier on the rear seat to engage in combat with his own personal weapon - whether it be a battle axe, rifle, or rocket launcher.
In addition to being deployed on planetary options, the ionocraft could also easily operate on the surface of a fortress such as Iserlohn, which had little to no atmosphere on its surface. (LOGH: 'Fortress vs Fortress', HBSHBL: 'A Dangerous Man')
