==Description==<br />
The '''Sortek Assault Craft''' is a [[thirty-second century]] combat hovercraft, originally produced by Corean Enterprises for the armed forces of the [[Federated Suns]]. Built on [[New Avalon]], Corean Enterprises constructed the craft as a means to repeat its success with its last successful hovercraft, the [[Musketeer]]. The Sortek was used by many [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] combat units by the 3140s to rebuild their devastated forces. Many [[AFFS]] commanders would mistakenly use the Sortek as a main combatant, which would cause heavy casualties due to the Sortek's lack of being able to deliver a killing blow to a heavier opponent.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', pp. 18-19, 65 Sortek Assault Craft - Background.</ref><br />
<br />
==Weapons and Equipment==<br />
Powering the Sortek is its General Motors 170-rated standard [[fusion engine]], which generally gives the vehicle enough speed to out-flank most of its opponents. In combination with its speed, the Sortek additionally relies on five tons of [[Valiant Lamellor Special]] Heavy Ferro-Fibrous Armor to protect it from harm. <br />
<br />
The Sortek's main offensive firepower comes from its dual [[Mydron Tempest]] rotary Class 2 autocannons. These front-mounted weapons draw shells from the two tons of ammunition stored in its hull. Adding to its defensive layer is a single [[MainFire Point Defense]] anti-missile system, which is also mounted forward.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3145 Federated Suns'', pp. 18-19, 65 Sortek Assault Craft - BV.</ref><br />
<br />
==Variants==<br />
*; Sortek Assault Craft (Interdictor) : Designed for electronic warfare at the request of AFFS, this variant of the Sortek uses a [[Guardian ECM Suite]] as the primary equipment payload. The Interdictor uses a more powerful engine to propel it at up to 150 km/h. Additionally, the vehicle benefits from an [[Armored Motive System]], making it far more robust than most other combat vehicles. Another change from the standard model is that the Sortek's main guns are swapped out for a pair of [[Light PPC]]s, while its defensive AMS remains in place. Lastly, the Sortek is also fitted with a [[C3 slave unit]] to give it the ability to coordinate and act as a spotter for other C3 units in its lance.

==Notes==<br />
* The Sortek assault craft was first created by [[WizKids]]' [[MechWarrior: Dark Age|MechWarrior Dark Age Collectable Miniatures]] game as a part of its ''Death from Above'' expansion set. It was later adapted by [[Catalyst Game Labs]] and redefined once the company advanced the franchise's timeline to [[3145]].<br />
