Description[edit]
The Zephyros infantry support vehicle (abbreviated Zephyros ISV), was a Clan Hell's Horses Combat Vehicle produced on Kirchbach in the early 3080s after the Word of Blake Jihad had ended. The vehicle was conceived as a means to be able to shore up the Clan's conventional forces after being cut off from the Homeworlds.[1]
Powered by a 180-rated fusion engine, the Zephyros is a speedy vehicle. Five and a half tons of “Magnum” ferro-fibrous composite has been used to protect the vehicle from enemy fire. In addition, the vehicle employs a Guardian ECM suite to help deal with more electronically sophisticated opponents.[1]
Weapons and Equipment[edit]
The Zephyros's main weaponry is a pair of Series 2b extended range medium lasers that is mounted in the vehicle's turret. Also found in the turret is a pair of light machine guns that gives the vehicle the means to fend off infantry elements. It carries one ton of ammunition for these weapons.[1]
Variants[edit]
- Dual-Turret
- An experimental tech variant developed in 3086 changes the weapons layout of the vehicle. The vehicle's light machine guns are moved into a pintle-mounted turret found at the rear of the vehicle. The forward turret's weapons are downgraded to standard medium lasers. A half ton of ammunition is removed to make room for the additional turret mechanism[1]. BV (2.0) = 844[3][4]
