Description[edit]
The Bailey armored car is a Gienah Automotive-produced civilian security vehicle first marketed in the mid-thirty-first century. The company exploited recovered Star League technology to enhance vehicle performance. The Bailey was designed to cope with battle armor-equipped infantry, which had steadily become more common. Aside for transporting high-value cargo, it can be used as makeshift armor infantry transport. The Bailey was designed to resist battle armor because of a daring raid that saw several robbers using Gray Death Standard battle armor to open a Knox armored car carrying payroll.[1][2]
The vehicle was noted for its higher cost but, as of 3067, orders for vehicle were steadily coming in.[1][2]
Equipment and Capabilities[edit]
The vehicle is principally armed with two small pulse lasers in the vehicle's turret. Also, in the turret is an anti-missile system to help fend off a missile attack on the vehicle. All weapons are tied in to an advanced fire control system. The Bailey is protected by 3.5 tons of BAR 10 grade heavy commercial armor. It features also an armored chassis modification.[1][2]
The Bailey has been pressed into service several times as an improvised APC, but it lacks any cross-country capability. As such, it is restricted to cities and urban environments.[1][2]
Cargo[edit]
The vehicle has a 3-ton cargo capacity, with a door mounted at the rear of the vehicle.[1][2]
