Description
The RRV "Rock Rover" half-track is built by Pinard Electric Motors, which produces the vehicle for the Taurian Concordat's mechanized & motorized infantry platoons. The vehicle is built to withstand the rigors of infantry fighting, working along side other small, military-grade infantry vehicles. Even though the vehicle is not built for speed, it is strong enough to deliver its cargo of infantry to its target.[1]
Armament & Capacities
The "Rock Rover" is principally armed with a Support Laser that is mounted in the vehicle's turret. The laser has thirty shots it can fire before it is exhausted. A pair of pintle-mounted automatic rifles in bubble turrets are on each side of the vehicle. These guns come with 300 rounds of ammunition each.[1]
The vehicle has an Infantry Bay of 1,000 kg with a door mounted in the rear of the vehicle. The capacity allows for a full squad of troops. Also, the vehicle has additionally a 779 kg cargo capacity door also to the rear of the vehicle. The crew has access to a single, handheld Searchlight, mounted in its front.[1]
