Type:	Transport
Empire:
Cost:	100
Health:	1,500

The Javelin is a hovercycle used exclusively by Nanite Systems Operatives. It can be spawned by operatives at any ground vehicle terminals.

The Javelin is an experimental design for a quick transport vehicle. Constructed with maglev technology and featuring an in-built afterburner, the Javelin is an incredibly mobile platform and is able to cross even the harshest terrain with ease. In exchange for this mobility, the Javelin is incredibly poorly armored and the hovercycle's weaponry is not particularly deadly.

Like the Flash, the Javelin can carry a single passenger in an exposed rumble seat, from which the passenger can use all of their equipment and abilities as normal.
