Starweaver
Notes: Starweavers are heavily armed transports piloted by a two man crew that form the vanguard of a Harlequin force. The Starweaver is named for the first and greatest son of the Cosmic Serpent. The Cosmic Serpent is a significant totem to the Harlequins, for he is said to have existed in both the material and psychic universes at the same time, and his strange and capricious young acted as occasional allies to Cegorach. Starweaver was the most noble and courageous of his serpentine brood, and swiftly made common cause with the Laughing God. The serpent freely gave his aid to Cegorach and, in tales such as the Humbling of Eldanesh or the Flight from the Grave of Stars, even suffered the Harlequins' deity to ride through danger upon his back. So do the Harlequins mount their Starweaver transports with reverence, for their actions echo those of Cegorach himself. The Starweaver is a small, fast moving transport used by the Harlequins. It swiftly delivers their troops where they are needed at which point the Harlequins leap gracefully from the platform and directly into the fray.

Voidweaver
Notes: Built on the same design as the Starweaver. The Voidweaver forgoes its transport capacity to allow for a greater array of armaments. In this way the Voidweaver functions as a swift moving gunship, able to keep pace with the rest of the Troupe while lending heavy fire power to the battle.
