This Caledonian Chieftain grav combat vehicle emphasizes crew protection and firepower over raw speed. The Chieftain carries a crew of three - commander, gunner and "driver" - and an infantry squad of seven.

Caledonian Grav/Mech Doctrine

The mission of the Chieftain is as follows:

  • In the attack - Carry an infantry squad in position to seize or destroy the enemy's position quickly enough to choose the time and place of battle, with enough protection to ensure they get there ready to fight, and with enough firepower to assist them in destroying the opposition.
  • In the defense - To enable an Infantry squad to conduct an effective mobile defense and return, quickly and with immense ferocity, to the counterattack.
