The AV-88 Overseer is a larger, more powerful variant of the AV-85 Watcher, built to serve more as a mobile base than as an individual reconnaissance unit. During the design of the AV-85, it became clear that an entirely new mission was possible with onboard fusion technology, the AV-88 was conceived as the full realization of that mission. It sports a larger reactor, with greatly increased fuel capacity, to allow the vehicle to stay aloft for weeks, or even months, with external fuel pods. The towing capacity of the vehicle is such that it can carry large ground vehicles, to further extend its operating terrain.
