Description

Designed in the 24th Century, the Carter Medical Emergency Response Vehicle (abbreviated as Carter MERV) was an Age of War-era mobile hospital unit. These vehicles were originally produced by Dortmein Wagons, Ltd on Arcturus.

The Carter MERV was part of the evolution of the 20th Century's MASH units that were used by Terran armies during conflicts such as World War II. Instead of an organized medical unit using tents, the Carter utilizes "pop-up" features which allow its main body to expand to provide a medical treatment area. The vehicle operated in fleets of two to ten units to provide for a fully functional frontline medical unit. The Carters would be used to supplement DropShips which would be dedicated as hospital vessels.

These vehicles became highly successful at their mission, and they would remain in service until after the dawn of the Star League era when they were phased out for more modern vehicles.[3]

Equipment and Capabilities

Constructed with what would be known as Primitive Technology, the vehicle is similar to contemporary Wheeled Support Vehicles. Powered by an internal combustion engine, the engine capable of allowing the vehicle to keep pace with a moving battlefront with a thousand kilometer fuel capacity. Its wheeled chassis is able to handle off-road terrain, with a hull that is protected by 2 tons of BAR-6 rated armor.

In its primary mission as a mobile hospital, the Carter features a full MASH unit, with two surgical theaters and four Paramedic stations. The vehicle is divided into four sections, with rear sections designed from triage to handle walking wounded.[4]
