GM Skimmer

General term describing a flyer or skimmer manufactured by General Motors.

There are hundreds of models in many sizes. From one person transports to big freight and passenger models.

The skimmer Isegrim took from the Ragnarsson flyer garage was most likley a GM Planet Multi Use 6 (shown)

These skimmers are mid range in price, but rare and expensive on Nilfeheim.

While the model shown can be purchased for about 40,000 credits at most planets. Due to the fact that there are no

dealer ships and models must be ordered and shipped to Nilfeheim, the same model runs about 60,000 credits.

The  model shown is a true skimmer, it means the vehicle does not fly very high ( about 10-15 meters of grounfd max.) The difference to a  flyer is the lack of automated flight controls and navigation equipment. Skimmers are meant to be flown by visual flight navigation. Skimmers are prefered over flyers especlally on frontier worlds without traffic control and by people who have no flight training or navigation skills.
