==Description==
A standard design, Grav-Attacks is are produced by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]] in their weapon-shops on [[Terra]] and other worlds throughout the [[galaxy]]. Some of these are modified for use by [[Chapter|Space Marine Chapters]], though most Astartes Grav-Attacks are manufactured by the Space Marines themselves. Grav-Attacks can also be produced in support and troop carrier variants.{{Fn|2}}
The Grav-Attack is kept afloat through use of a standard gravitic-reaction motor that includes gravitational counter-thrust engines and [[suspensor]]s. The vehicle is capable of high speeds with the help of a single jet engine, especially when travelling on roads and other equally flat surfaces.{{Fn|2}}
Armour material can consist of a variety of materials, depending on local availability, but ideally should include a [[ceramite]] core, upon which cellular layers of plastics and an outer coating of silicate sitssit.{{Fn|2}}
The Grav-Attack is capable of mounting a single Imperial heavy weapon or a combination of lighter armaments, but is most often equipped with a turreted, auto-aimed [[lascannon]] and an auto-aimed [[missile launcher]] firing [[Frag Missile|frag]] and [[Krak Missile|krak missiles]]. It also features an auto-drive system and a [[Vox|communicator]].{{Fn|2}}
