The Floating Disc was a flying craft used by Yuri's forces.

Yuri had a flair for the dramatic, and also a clear appreciation for nostalgia and old movies. When Yuri decided to develop an economy attacking unit, he decided to theme it off of the flying saucers of old sci fi movies. The end result was the Floating Disc. [1]

The flying disc is simply that. It is a silver hued tapered disc equipped with hover technology that allows it to move about the battlefield. Along the outer edge of the floating disc was a laser actuator, which built charge as the beam circled the disc and then released in one blast at targets. At the center of the disc was a sphere which contained the Floating Disc's drain beam.

The Floating Disc's primary use was to disable enemy bases. With it's drain beam, the Floating Disc could drain an enemy's power, shutting off either a base defense, or the entire grid. Then other Yuri units could attack with less fear. Furthermore, a Floating Disc could drain the credits out of refineries and shunt them into Yuri's accounts. The floating disc had decent armor, but lacked speed. However, it was faster then the Soviet Kirov. Like the Kirov, it's construction was announced.

The floating disc was vulnerable to anti-aircraft fire. Furthermore, when destroyed, the floating disc would crash to the ground, damaging anything it collided with, be it friend or foe.
