Description

The Tiranefabrik Lk-250 is a large-capacity cargo ACV designed for bulk transport on worlds where the road net is poor or nonexistent. The large loading door in the front of the vehicle can be lowered to form a telescoping ramp, which enables the vehicle to be loaded without deflating the skirts, an advantage in many types of terrain. Other models of large cargo hovercraft are built as RORO-types (roll-on, roll-off), meaning that they have ramps at both ends. ROROs are commonly seen as ferries, since vehicles can drive on and drive off without backing up. The Lk-250 is fitted with normal communications and radar anti-collision gear, along with either an inertial and/or a satellite navigation system as desired. The Lk-250’s cavernous interior can be fitted to carry passengers (variable, depending upon the accommodations) in combination with cargo; most models found on frontier worlds are designed for combination service (a few even have provisions for carrying livestock).

Military versions usually incorporate one or more weapon turrets, ECM equipment, and air-defense weapons of some kind. These vehicles are seldom seen in the front lines, however.
