Background

Since after the Second Atlantean-Lemurian War, the command staff of the Atlantean Army decided to take advantage of Atlantean technology and production capabilities to increase the firepower of Citizen Soldier units. Drawing from surface world military organization, the Atlantean Army has since had infantry and cavalry. The cavalry serves much the same role as tanks or aircraft do for surface world armies.

The current cavalry vehicle is the Tiger Shark Fast Attack Craft. The basic hull was drafted at the end of the millenium and at the end of 2005, all cavalry units have switched to the new craft.

Powers
TIn addition, it, like the Leviathan, has advanced sight and sound masking technologies to allow stealthy operations. In addition, the armored hull is able to withstand most of the armament that the Lemurians have.

There are five variants of the Tiger Shark. The most common variant is the Cavalry FAC armed with a high speed AAR. The Assault FAC is armed with a torpedo tube able to destroy large or relatively slower targets from a distance. The Pod Carrier FAC has an armored troop compartment and variable direction rapid deployment chutes. The Suppression FAC is armed with a high powered Sonic Canon effective at disabling infantry or for police activity. The Minelayer FAC provides rapid minefield area denial capability.
Appearance

The Tiger Shark is a sleek, thin submarine that seats a gunner in the front and a pilot in the back just forward of the dorsal fin. It has pectoral and tail steering surfaces as well and does appear much like a large shark especially with the common practice of painting a shark mouth beneath the gunner's position.
