Description
The Zephyros Infantry Support Vehicle (abbreviated Zephyros ISV), is a Clan Hell's Horses Combat Vehicle produced on Kirchbach in the early 3080s after the Jihad had ended. The vehicle was conceived as a means to be able to shore up the Clan's conventional forces since being cut off from the Clan Home Worlds.
Powered by a 180 rated Fusion Engine, the Zephyros is speedy vehicle. 5.5 tons of “Magnum” Ferro-Fibrous Composite has been used to protect the little vehicle from enemy fire. In addition, the vehicle employs a Guardian ECM Suite to help deal with more sophisticated opponents.[3]

Variants

The forward turret's weapons are downgraded to standard Medium Lasers. A half ton of ammunition is taken from LMGs to make room for the additional turret mechanism.[5] BV (2.0) = 844[6]
