Notes

  • It is unclear what the Škoda/Growler looks like. In the associated image for the "Growler/Burro Trucks" (in Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised), two identical trucks (from differing angles) are depicted, though unidentified as either of the three profiled support vehicles. However, since Škoda/Growler and another vehicle both weigh in at a mass 1 and a large vehicle is 2.5 tons, the Burro II (massing 50 tons) is the most likely one depicted.
  • The Škoda/Growler was originally published simply known as the Growler. The Revised edition of the TRO:VA would change its name as Škoda "Growler" Service Utility Truck. Its not specified if the Škoda is the vehicle actual name or a company brand, since there no text relating to the vehicle directly in name.
