Description
Produced by Bulldog Enterprises of Proserpina, the Garrot is a post-Jihad design, and a militarised version of their SkyStar freighter. Lightly armored, and able to carry over half of its weight in cargo, the Garrot was designed as a military cargo carrier and is meant for use in rear area. After the invasion of the Republic of the Sphere when the HPG network went down, the design was acquired by many splinter factions and all of Inner Sphere's Houses.
While intended to only support logistic operations of the millitary, the Garrot can also be very effective in so called "near-combat" applications. Examples of such great, but daring applications are numerous since it's introduction to outside forces and include ferrying of artillery to support gound troops' advance, infiltrating facilities which mistake the VTOL for it's civilian counterpart or even using it to drop fuel tanks on the advancing enemy out of desperation.[1]
The Republic of the Sphere uses the Garrot as the backbone of its aerial transport units.
Armament
The Garrot's only protection is a pair of Bulldog Machine Guns. 6.5 tons of armor ensure adequate protection for the vehicle, but it is really ill-suited for millitary engagements.[1]
Variants
No variants of the Garrot are known to exist.
