Thanks for all the suggestions, I think the SW POTF version is along the line I am thinking of.
Contraband, thanks for the offer. I'll get back to you if things change.
I wish I could have posted an image of what I was trying to copy. In the original Alien vs. Predator comic, there was a hover sled type thing the colonists used here and there to get around. I am thinking of trying to recreate that to expand my options for my ALIENS universe.
