Description
The Nolan was created by Kallon Industries as a MagLev based rail engine to assist hauling large military formations across planetary continents. The Nolan was designed for use with the RMC-3050 LevCar.[1][2]
Equipment and Capabilities
The engine itself mounts two LB 10-X Autocannons in a turret, with six tons of ammunition. Also, the vehicle mounts four Machine Guns mounted forward to fend off infantry. The machine guns share one ton ammunition between the four guns. All the weapons are guided by an Advance Fire Control computer.[1][2]
In addition to its weaponry, the engine carries two foot infantry platoons which can be used to provide security for the train.[1][2]
The Nolan features also Armored and Tractor Chassis and Controls Modifications.[1][2]
Cargo
The vehicle carries over 76 tons of cargo, with one door on each side of the tractor. The cargo bay can be used to feed its crew and infantry platoons.[1][2]
Variants
- Nolan (Fuel Cell)
- Kallon created a standard locomotive engine to use on worlds with conventional rail infrastructure. The train runs on a fuel cell drive and is twenty-five percent slower than the MagLev version. The train does however still retain all capacities and equipment of the MagLev version.[1][2][4]
