Colonists' Air Boats

Lightweight, motorized flat-bottomed vessels fitted with buoyant skirts to skim across water and shallow marshland. Designed for speed and maneuverability, they cut silently through the swamp’s narrow channels at dawn, their engines muffled to avoid detection. The rebels recognize these air boats as the colonists’ primary means of transport, capable of rapid deployment across the swamp’s treacherous terrain even during high tide.
