[edit] Description
The Pegasus is a popular recon unit, due to its good speed, decent armor, and respectable firepower. It can be found in almost all militaries, having been introduced in the First Succession War.
[edit] Armament
The Pegasus mounts considerable weaponry for its size, a pair of StarStreak Heavy SRM 6s and a Medium Laser.
[edit] Variants
- As a recon vehicle, known variants of the Pegasus include removing weapons altogether or conversely removing the sensors and adding more SRM ammo.
- Upgrade - After the Truce of Tukayyid, the DCMS began an upgrade of the Pegasus hovertank. The newer model, produced by Scarborough Manufacturers of Al Na'ir, replaces the ICE with a 140 Fusion Engine and replaces the Medium Laser with a Medium Pulse Laser. It also adds a Guardian ECM Suite, a TAG system, and a Beagle Active Probe. This gives the new Pegasus a faster speed of 151.2 kph, increases its firepower, and adds electronic warfare capabilities.
