==Overview:==
If it's one thing the Outworlds Alliance learned with the Merlin, it's that
even a mediocre unit can still sell well so long as it's cheap and effective.
Desperate for both quick cash and a ground combat vehicle that they could
cheaply field themselves, the government set its engineers to work and
eventually came up with the concept for the Ambassador. 

So named because it is officially intended for export (despite roughly half
actually ending up in the OA's own arsenals), the Ambassador was designed with
one simple purpose in mind: high-speed fire support. The hover fans allow it
to move rapidly over most terrain, letting it run circles around most ground
combat vehicles. And the AC/2 allows it to snipe from range, giving it the
ability to chip away at whatever targets it does come across. A generic
machine gun has been installed as a back-up, allowing it to pin down enemy
infantry.

Of note is that there is a token amount of cargo space on board the vehicle.
While this is mainly supposed to be used for gear for the crew members, on
occasion a situation will arise wherein a crew will have an infantryman,
medic, or another ground-type soldier will be hitching a ride for whatever
reason.
