Meet the Basta - the AIA's hovering armoured personnel carrier - faster than its ULA counterpart though not quite as sturdy. Hover vehicles cannot climb steep inclines due to the facing of the anti-grav (AG) panels, but can float easily over low obstacles. The vehicle generates momentum by vectoring the AG panels underneath it. The plasma autocannon can melt armored vehicles easily, and still functions quite well against infantry combatants. It comes with a computerized turret mount that will engage enemy combatants as well.
The Basta almost always outperforms the Turtle in maneuverability, but its reduced armor (a sacrifice necessary for the lift needed to move) puts it in a detrimental situation if it is engaged by superior numbers. It uses an expensive, lightweight, titanium alloy shell interwoven with ceramic composites and aluminum structure to support it. Despite using hover technology, the Basta still uses hydrocarbon fuels to operate with a powerful twin diesel generator.
Operators are instructed to use cover to their advantage to the best of their ability to avoid significant damage to the AG panels in the chassis, which would render the vehicle inoperable or irreparably damage it to the point it cannot be recovered.
The Dhaka is the Basta's larger cousin.
