Description
Designed as a fast, cheap and effective raider, the J.Edgar was the last military vehicle that Alphard Trading Corporation manufactured before they disappeared. Unfortunately the J.Edgar proved quite ineffective and was soon phased out, until Pinard Protectorates Limited licensed the designs and began manufacturing new variants.
Armament
The vehicle manages to mount a Medium Laser and 2 SRM 2s primary for close range raiding missions. Using it's astonishing speed, it closes in and fires a full alpha strike before quickly falling back to evade the enemy's return fire.
Variants
- Flamer - This version replaces the two SRM 2 packs with a pair of Flamers, primarily used as a defoliant. BV (2.0) = 456
- Machine Gun - This configuration mounts a pair of Machine Guns in place of each SRM 2. This model is used against infantry, with the battery of Machine Guns proving deadly even against Battle Armor. BV (2.0) = 482
- TAG - This spotter variant mounts a TAG and a Beagle Active Probe for spotting and acquiring targets deep behind enemy lines. The Active Probe allows it to detect powered down or hidden targets within the area. BV (2.0) = 564[1]
- ICE - During the Succession Wars, many J. Edgars were heavily damaged, so their expensive and rare fusion engines were usually replaced with older and bulkier Internal Combustion Engines. This greatly reduced the tank's maximum speed to 129 km/h and required a full ton of armor plating to be removed.
- Kurita - The Kurita variant, has one minor change to the primar variant, it is equiped with an C3 Slave to connect to other C3 units. BV (2.0) = 696[2]
