History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

These are light, inexpensive, some would say disposable vehicles. They work in hunter killer teams to destroy light armored vehicles. They have limited endurance and a short operational radius without reloads. originally the laser carbine was for target designation, and can still be pressed into service in that role, especially when the vehicle spots for artillery. The target designated guidance package was deemed too expensive to use. Companies of ten vehicles are usually paired with four high mobility 6x6 all-terrain trucks to carry reloaded and barrels of extra fuel to extend range to more manageable levels. The infantry dismounts usually carry man portable missiles to augment the strike force. They are common among the Haden Military Units.
