History & Background (Dossier)
Designed and manufactured at TL–10, these vehicles were commissioned and license built for the certain military clients on Felid (world), in the Orret Subsector of the Far Home Sector in the Distant Fringe. The vehicle's tiny crew of three have their hands full to say the least. They are designed to operate and maneuver in crowded city streets. The space for three passengers was lost. A cable and winch system has been proposed, but is yet to be adopted. The mini-gun was substituted for a 2.5cm suto-cannon, that ended up being too massive to fit. The final design is half the speed intended. The powerplant would have to double in size and the 28 tons of armor would need to be reduced to get the speed up. This vehicle was also considered for a drone and/or robot crew option which has yet to be fielded. The driver's space was also to be fitted with and advanced ejection seat.
