Design
The vehicle had 4 road wheels per side. Its armament is affixed to a flexible mount in the forward hull, consisting of either an automatic cannon or an energy weapon, with the weapon's barrel only slightly protruding from the mantlet. In addition, a crew-operated support weapon could be fired from the roof hatch. Both of its observed armaments were capable of significant explosive effects - sufficient to demolish the frontage of a building or kill multiple men in a single blast. (LOGH: 'The Kümmel Incident', 'In the Name of Pride')
Ingress and egress was accomplished via a rear hatch and a turret hatch.
The vehicle was light enough to be dropped via rocket parachute directly into combat. (LOGH: 'Farewell, Distant Memories', 'In the Name of Pride')
Variants
A variant existed equipped with a twin-barrelled roof-mounted turret. (LOGH: 'Fezzan Occupied')
