==Overview:==
The Chepas was built as vehicle that could be mass produced to give militia
and other similar units a fast hit and run craft.

The idea game about after several reports and studies of the different
uprisings and rebellions that have happen over the past 100 years have shown
that the successful ones always had faster vehicels and knew how to use them.
So going with that idea, several members of the board of directors of Zambesi
Coachworks came up with the basics they felt would offer many of the units
that normally faced the larger amount of combat with these types of forces a
chance to return the favor and possiblely prevent many rebellions and
uprisings from gaining footholds and winning.

So once the idea was sprung on the company's designers, they went at it with a
rather lack luster attitude, not really sharing the board members' drive to
build the "ultimate weapon" and so testing and devlopement lagged along. After
six years of nothing to show, one of the up and coming board members, fresh
from his rise in the popular coach sells side of the company, he had made many
a sales of the high tech wonder cars and multi-passenger vans as well as
racing vehicles on numerous worlds, all bring in a nice profit for the
company, was placed in charge of the project things turned around. He took all
of the project mangers into a meeting, were he talked for an hour. What was
said or discussed has never been made public. Shortly after the meeting a
working prototype was on the testing grounds and being put through every test
that could be imagined. 

The other board members and even the CEO of the company were shocked when a
finial model, with complete design specs and possible upgrades and variants
were offered to the board for full review in less then a year.

Seeing that they had a winner and a product to sell, the board quickly moved
to get it in to the hands of the military, as well as into the mecrenary arms
market.
