Fliers

Flier

 Generic term used in the 51st century for basically any planetary vehicle. As virtually any vehicle can also fly. Specifically a Flier is a flight capable vehicle with an Artigrav unit and some sort of propulsion.

Artigrav provides lift and propulsion provides locomotion.

Propulsion can be in many forms : Turbines, propellers etc. (Even sail driven Fliers exist for recreation and sport)

There are thousands of different kinds, for ten thousand different purposes and environments.

Fliers come in all price classes, from simple used ones for a few hundred credits to super lux trans planet or inter system Fliers for many million credits.

Fliers capable of leaving a planet are sometimes called “Inter system Fliers”.

Fliers that provide Off planet services and can seat more than 5 passengers are no longer called Fliers, but shuttles.

Some Fliers are capable of ground movement (Surface mobility) Some are able to lock into planet mover systems and others are able to swim or dive.

 Technically the Garbage trucks of Sin 4 were Fliers too. Even though they were nothing more than wooden boxes or shipping crates fitted with an Arti Grav lifter and a propeller.
