Hovercrafts serve as one of the primary transportation and defensive forces for the city of Zion. They are manned by a mixture of Redpills and natural-born humans. The ships vary greatly in size, armament, crew complement, and combat performance, but all are utilized under one mission: The protection and freedom of humanity from Synthient oppression and from the continued use of the Matrix to imprison and control humanity.
Hovercrafts contain a mixture of old and modern equipment, sometimes appearing to be partially made of scraps. Based on the nameplates found from existing hovercrafts, it is suggested that the ships used during the Machine war were originally assembled before the war and outside of 01, possibly as entirely other forms of vehicle or transport.
Regardless of a hovercraft’s original construction and purpose, hovercrafts used during the Machine war are repaired and retrofitted with parts scavenged from the surface or from the remains of the old Zion and are carefully equipped with the technology to both navigate the current subterranean tunnel systems and to defend against Synthients.
Hovercrafts are essentially large hulls equipped with Synthient hoverpad technology that leverages strong electromagnetism to levitate the vehicle. While hovercrafts can practically fly in the sky, the Zion operatives that crew these ships are generally conducting operations below ground within the ancient sewers and tunnels that formed the underground pathways of the old destroyed human cities, away from most Sentinels and Surface Seekers.
