==Description==
 
==Description==
Named after [[Savannah Johnson]], the [[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarrior]] it defeated in its trial run, the '''Savannah Master''' is notable for using a [[fusion engine]], unlike most conventional vehicles of its era. With its high speed and meager armor, the Savannah Master hovercraft stays alive by staying mobile and wearing down heavier units with its lone weapon. The vehicle is manufactured on [[Carlisle]].<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3026>''Technical Readout: 3026'', pp. 6-7, "Savannah Master Hovercraft Profile"</ref><ref name=TRO3026R>''Technical Readout: 3026 Revised'', pp. 10-11, "Savannah Master Hovercraft Profile"</ref>

==Weapons and Equipment==
 
As the Savannah Master primarily engages light recon 'Mechs (which tend to be lightly armed and armored), the single [[Defiance B3M]] medium laser is more than sufficient for its needs.<ref name=TRO3039/><ref name=TRO3026/><ref name=TRO3026R/>
 
  
==Variants==
 
*;SL : Introduced in [[3033]]<ref>''[http://www.masterunitlist.info/Unit/Details/2806/savannah-master-hovercraft-sl MUL online date for the ''{{PAGENAME}}'' SL]''</ref>, two [[Small Laser]]s replace the medium laser. Production of this model was not pursued due to the lack of acceptable range.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3039'', p. 10, "Variants"</ref> BV (2.0)= 131<ref>''Record Sheets: 3039 Unabridged'', p. 10</ref>

Protection is also lessened, though the loss of armor is mitigated by the use of [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor. This version was frequently used during the [[Jihad]] to disrupt [[Word of Blake]] electronic networks.<ref>''Technical Readout: 3085'', p. 191</ref> BV (2.0) = 128<ref>''Record Sheets: 3085 Unabridged — Old is the New New'', p. 24</ref>

*; Reflective : This variant replaces the [[Durallex Light]] armor with [[Bowie Glinting Blade Reflective]] armor and the single Medium Laser is replaced with an [[Extended-Range Medium Laser | ER Medium Laser]]<ref name = "RG31">''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 31'' p. 4</ref>.

Lewis]] <ref name = "RG31"/> this variant has standard armor but mounts a 45 Fusion Engine <ref name = "RG31R">''Recognition Guide: ilClan, vol. 31'' p. 20</ref>.
