History & Background (Dossier)

Mercenary units often use these vehicles for artillery forward observers because they tend to be faster than grav belts and can carry additional weapons. Laser carbines and rifles are common for these troops along with a mapbox and good secure communication links to allow them to adjust indirect fire missions.
