The Bandersnatch is an all-terrain gravimetrically powered hovertank designed and manufactured by the Red Bear LLC for service in the Imperial Army.

Unlike conventional hovercraft the gravimetric engine permits more readily the lateral manoeuvring of the main battle tank, with a fluidity that belies its size. The Bandersnatch is capable of movement on land and water and is also capable of limited flight under its own power, however the lack of fundamental aerodynamic properties as well as an auxiliary power source, means that an operational ceiling of 10 metres off the ground level is enforced on Bandersnatches and their crews. Reports from the field however suggest that, in practice, the Bandersnatch is capable of far more than that.

As noted its all terrain capabilities mean the Bandersnatch can be employed with equal effect on the water as well as on land; both the Imperial Army's River Army and the Imperial Navy's Coastal Command have expressed an interest in the Bandersnatch as a patrol vessel.
