History & Background (Dossier)[edit]

These are near silent killers, only the whine of the turbines belie their presence. Optimized to pour out fire power, they lack energy weapons, and are ammo dependent. They excel versus infantry and lightly armored vehicles. Their speed and endurance give them a good patrol radius when compared to other vehicles on Haden (Ha 1515) (world). The lack of ECM and point defense means that TAC missiles can pose a serious threat to them. Armored companies use screening forces to counter this. They are common among the Haden Military Units.
