The Terrier-class fast assault craft is a class of fast military assault craft developed and constructed by Sanama State Maritime Industries, originally for the Sanaman Union Armed Services. It can carry and deploy up to half a platoon of amphibious infantry fully equipped. The Terrier-class is an incredibly swift and nimble vessel, capable of performing very tight turns at high velocities, coming to a full stop from maximum speed within 2.5 boat lengths, and modifying its pitch and roll angles while in motion. Its lightweight design, shallow draft, and dual water jets allow it to reach speeds up to 40 knots (74 km/h) in shallow coastal waters. The partially ducted water jets, along with underwater control surfaces akin to a submarine's diving planes, grant the craft its remarkable maneuverability.
