PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: The Trade Federation
• Affiliation: The Trade Federation
• Market Status: Open-Market
• Model: Trade Federation HoverHab Modular Tent System
• Modularity: Yes ( HoverHabs can interconnect via standardized landbridges or pathways to form encampments and small villages)
• Production: Mass-Produced (High-demand item, in steady production)
• Material:
  • Plasteel frames
  • Synthweave canopy
  • Repulsorcraft System
  • Energy shield nodes
  • Magnetic clamp anchoring

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Repulsorlift Platform: HoverHabs float 0.5–1 m above terrain without the need for ground preparation
• Modular Connection Ports: Enables swift assembly into marketplace corridors or small settlement grids
• Energy shield Sealing: Temperature control and dampened energy signature for low observability
• Quick-Deploy Design: Setup or breakdown in under 15 minutes
• Packable Structure: Collapses into sealed crates for covert mobility
• Configurable Interiors: Customizable for living quarters, vendor booths, or secure meeting areas

STRENGTHS

• Rapid Deployment: Fully operational in under 15 minutes, enabling instant settlement or marketplace creation.
• Modular Adaptability: Links seamlessly with other units to form corridors, plazas, or entire floating towns.
• Environmental Flexibility: Operates on virtually any terrain, urban ruins, swamps, deserts, even shallow water.

WEAKNESSES

• Fragile Defense Profile: Provides minimal protection, highly vulnerable to sustained blaster fire or explosives.
• Power Reliance: Entire structure fails if energy cells or repulsorlift drives are disabled.
• Weather Susceptibility: Extreme storms, acid rain, or high winds can damage canopy integrity.

DESCRIPTION

The "HoverHab" was developed by the The Trade Federation as a flexible shelter system for frontier colonies and humanitarian missions. Its repulsorlift foundation eliminates dependence on stationary infrastructure, enabling rapid, flexible deployment.

Constructed from durable plasteel and synthweave, paired with energy shield insulation, the HoverHabs offer environmental protection with moderate stealth. Units interconnect via clip-on landbridges, enabling the formation of impromptu floating marketplaces or mercenary encampments. Packed into crates, they're ideally suited for black-market setups, quick to erect, quick to vanish.

Although immensely versatile, HoverHabs lack hardened defenses and rely on users for security. Poor weather and extended operations without resupply pose risks. Nevertheless, their adaptability makes them strategic assets for frontier chaos, covert trade, and opportunistic settlement, civilian gear turned covert instrument through Federation engineering.
