Description[edit]

Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex (TRO:Vehicle) is unique as it was the first TRO to focus primarily on civilian and/or Support Vehicles 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 IndustrialMechs 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 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.^[1]

The 2006 TRO:Vehicle by then license holder FanPro was later updated and expanded with the 2013 PDF-only edition Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex Revised Edition by CGL.

From the back cover[edit]

“

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 LoaderMechs, 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.

Built using the construction rules found in TechManual™ nd [sic] Combat Equipment™, Classic BattleTech Technical Readout: Vehicle Annex™ provides a never-before-seen look at the support vehicles behind the militaries of every faction, as well as a slice of every day [sic] life in the BattleTech® universe. From tracked land-trains to police cruisers, luxury VTOLs to fix-wing [sic] passenger planes, satellites, super-heavy naval surface ships, IndustrialMechs and more: the gamut of the BattleTech universe, fully illustrated for the first time.
