Description
The Freedom 900 is a late Succession Wars-era Civilian Vehicle. Produced by Earthwerks, the vehicle is part of the Freedom series of Hover Jeeps which have been in production since the late twenty-seventh century. Intended for the civilian market, the jeep is sold across the Inner Sphere.[1][2]
The design has been used as a base for production of a variety of vehicles, from civilian transports to family vehicles. Earthwerks has been accused of various anti-competitive practices over the centuries of production of the Freedom-series Hover Jeeps, from keeping the vehicle's price low to having cheap labor produce the vehicle.[1][2]
Equipment and Capabilities
Designed as a simple and rugged vehicle, the engineers kept to the basics in its construction. The Freedom 900 features a tried-and-true Internal Combustion Engine with 300 kg fuel capacity. Its primary version is a convertible chassis modification, protected by 266 kg of BAR 6 grade civilian armor, allowing it to handle everyday situations. [1][2]
The Freedom requires 1 crew (75 kg) and has 3 passenger (225 kg) seats. [1][2]
Cargo
The vehicle is also able to handle up to 304 kg of cargo.[1][2]
