The Hoverscout is designed for reconnaissance and offensive point operations.
While not quite as durable as an AT-ST, it is much faster and hits harder.
Also, it can carry an infantry detail, allowing greater flexibility.
Being a hover vehicle, it combines repulsorlift technology with hover engines
to allow easier transit over more types of terrain as well as better fuel
efficiency. The Swift Assault Five was used by the Empire throughout
the Rebellion Era, while earlier versions have been in use for over a century.
