Produced by Valiant Vehicles, the vehicle was designed to be a companion to the [[Striker (Combat Vehicle)|Striker Light Tank]].<ref name=DADossiers11>''MechWarrior: Dark Age - Dossiers and Pilot Cards'', p. 11: "Cesar Spano"</ref> It was originally intended for front-line combat use. After [[Devlin Stone]]'s Coalition purchased several and saw their combat performance, most Ranger VV1's were transferred to units that are geared for urban combat where the extremely short range of the Ranger's weapons wouldn't be much of a handicap. The [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]], for example, transferred nearly all its Ranger VV1's from its armor regiments to infantry regiments, where they supported APCs.<ref name="TRO:3085p26+"/>+ VV1 Range Infantry Fighting Vehicle was noted for its deployment major militaries of the early [[32nd Century]]. − Powering the vehicle is a Magna fusion engine that allows the vehicle be propelled to 90 km/h. Ten tons of armor protect the crew, which is sufficient to stand up to the infantry and battle armor units that are its primary target.<ref name="TRO:3085p26+"/>+ ==Armaments & Capacities== + The vehicle has principly armed with four extended range small lasers mounted in front it.

Enhancing its protection it is also equipt with a [[Guaridan ECM Suite]] located in the main body. − The Ranger's armament is optimized for anti-infantry operations. The eight various machine guns are mounted in a pair of quad mount [[Machine Gun Array]]s. These turret-mounted arrays allow the Ranger VV1 to rapidly destroy conventional infantry platoons and inflict serious damage on battle armor units as well. To supplement this firepower against armored targets, the Ranger carries a pair of forward-firing ER Small Lasers. These are particularly effective against battle armor troops, but can also dissuade small vehicles from closing.<ref name="TRO:3085p26+"/> − == Variants ==+ Powering the vehicle is a Magna fusion engine that allows the vehicle be propelled to 90 kilometers per hour. − *;Ranger VV1 (MG) : This version introduced in [[Introduction Year::3076]]<ref name="MUL2"/> removes the Machine Gun Arrays and ER Small Lasers of the standard Ranger VV1.
