This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or later the old stuff should reappear at omeyer.gmxhome.de Onno Meyer, 2007-06-04
Diadem Industries SkyFlash Grav Speeder v1.0 (GURPS Traveller late TL9) Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer The SkyFlash represents the best technology available in border areas like the Sword Worlds or Arden.
