I.C.E. Corp. has started to mass produce a new prototype of a hover tank. This hover tanks design is based on the Speed Demon. The design is relatively the same except that it is bigger, and has more weapons systems. The HTV-12SS, or Snow Shocker, is a light to medium hover tank. It's combination of weaponry, advanced computers, and maneuverability has made it a deadly weapon in field tests. Only 3 dozen of the original prototype are left, a a dozen or so patrol with the mercs. while another dozen are in storage and/or taken apart. and the rest of the prototype have been sold. With the success of the prototypes, I.C.E. Corp. has started to mass produce a less armed, but equally deadly prototype.
