Randin People's Security Patrol

On Randin (world) the infantry companies have 12 of these in three platoons with 24 crew and 120 dismounts. An ironic vehicle development on a desert world. This design was copied from another planet of similar technology level. They retain amphibious capabilities in the event of off world deployment. The over pressure is used to resist the planet's atmospheric taint. Dismounted laser equipped, scout/snipers must serve as target designator's for its' Gryphon anti-tank missiles.
