The Talon Switchblade
Cheaper to produce, with less heavy armour than the Elite, the standard Talon Switch-blade was designed to be a match for the Sky Knights standard Air Skimmer III. Like the Ultra, it almost outperforms the Skimmer in every category, except for manoeuvrability. The Switch Blade line boasts the worst crystal fuel economy in the sky, which probably doesn't matter when you control 90% of the crystal mining in the charted world. That said, if this machine does happen to run out of crystal fuel it tends to drop out of the sky like a rock. The frame is equipped with a solid iron nose designed to withstand (a deliberate) head-on collision with other sky-rides.
