Built for The Last Line on Murada (world) this vehicle is cylindrical in shape. The squat horizontal tin can shape is cramped and does not allow enough room to carry troops, so this design evolved into a scout raft. The current target acquisition RADAR is sufficient for the TAC missiles loaded. Armored to starship hull metal standards, sealed with life support to enable Protected Forces operations. It is pretty fast and has a small cargo bay. The driver and commander handle the forward weapon suite and the tail gunner mans the VRF Gauss Gun to eliminate pursuit. The ECM was recently upgraded to extensive. It is used to provide some protection against enemy homing missiles, after some disastrous battlefield encounters with enemy hunter-killer teams. The laser rifle is used to designate targets.
