==Description==
'''''Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex''''' (''TRO:Vehicle'') is unique as it was the first ''TRO'' to focus primarily on civilian and/or [[Support Vehicle]]s of various kinds. It is at the same time the first to include [[WiGE]] vehicles, with the construction rules found in [[TechManual]] (published in 2007). Police and security versions of [[IndustrialMech]]s are also prominent. It is written from the perspective of a senior [[IrTech]] executive collecting information of potential areas for production expansion.

''TRO:Vehicle'' is primarily intended for use with [[MechWarrior (RPG)|MechWarrior]] roleplaying game. Through the variety of designs presented, it gives the [[BattleTech Universe]] more depth and credibility on the everyday side of life, beyond military and war. For most designs presented no record sheets have been published, although the data provided allows players to create these themselves.<ref>A notable exception is the sourcebook ''[[Historical: Operation Klondike]]'', which utilizes support vehicles. Record sheets for these variants have been published in the sourcebook's companion record sheet book, ''[[Record Sheets: Operation Klondike]]''</ref>

{{quote|''[[MechWarrior (pilot)|MechWarriors]] receive all the glory; [[aerospace fighter]] pilots a close second; vehicles are considered the workhorses of any military; infantry are even given their day in the sun in the minds of the common citizen. But no battle could be waged, nor won, without the mammoth apparatus of support vehicles that feed the war machines of the [[Great Houses]]. From cargo trucks to tanker airships, airborne MASH to communication satellites, armored transport rails to coastal patrol boats, hauler exoskeletons to [[LoaderMech]]s, even hover and wheeled police cruisers or civilian vehicles onscripted [''sic''] into the military: the support vehicle is the true ackbone [''sic''] of any military machine.''
