Vehicles

The following is a list of land and air vehicles that are available in the setting. Check the Ammunition and Weapons lists for more information.

## Land Vehicles

### Civilian Vehicles

#### Astrobike

The Astrobike
was made for users who like to move quickly, have high maneuverability and of
course still be able to survive crashing. Unfortunately the bike was also
designed for freedom and thus the latter point was rather moot. The vehicle
features a wind-shield and foot holds to keep a rider on the bike. It is not
very well made to driving over anything other than city streets however its
high fuel efficiency makes it a favorite for travelers who are willing to pay
extra money to modify the bike for better off road capability. This bike is, by
technicality, a hovercraft as it does not touch the road with any surface and
uses an anti-gravity drive to maintain its movement.

#### Falcon

The Falcon model vehicle was made,
surprisingly, by Madonna Incorporated rather than a typical car manufacturer.
The vehicle was made exceptionally light and made use of crumple zones,
numerous airbags, a very durable but expensive frame and many other safety
features to pass regulations in order to enter the market. The Falcon was
highly successful and came in the form of an extremely fuel efficient vehicle
that, while easily broken, was extremely affordable across most star systems
and, because of its exceptionally low mass, was easy to transport across the
void of space even without most star systems having factories for the vehicle
readily available.

#### Prestige

Often sought by
the civilian market for its relatively high fuel efficiency and comfort, the
Prestige model was made by Motion Incorporated to provide a relatively cheap
but reliable method of transportation to serve persons across all planets
rather than producing a car to be sold on a single planet or a collection of
similar planets. The vehicle is hermetically sealed to provide atmosphere for
those living on barren worlds and has ample trunk capacity with a commonly used
fuel that is both reliable and cheap on most worlds. The vehicle is marketed
with caution and although it sells well across most worlds, extremely hot
worlds cannot make use of it for the car’s tendency to retain a lot of engine
heat while running.

### Light Armour

#### Jackal

Originally built for the purpose of rescue
efforts collapsed buildings and mine shafts, the Jackal got it's name from keen
senses and ability to adapt to all environment hazards. Mass produced and
disposable this edition was quickly realized after it saw use in combat as a
supply vessel during attempted rebellions and terrorist acts. Keeping to a
similar style of the Jackal-01 the design was light and disposable, able to be
left behind and scuttled easily with Alliance weaponry. Equipped with heavy
infantry weaponry and spare ammo for the squad it is assigned to, the Jackal
also boasts  a powerful wench and the
structure to support it, allowing it to lower or raise wounded soldiers and
gear from  high elevations.

Seeing it's primary action as a room to room
sweeper and bait. The armour was thickened on each side into a composite of
materials rather then steel plates. Keeping a low weight and easy production of
the very armour. This let it take shots from the side and allow it to survive
to turn and return fire. The primary weapon was locked to a sixty degree
forward facing arc, to avoid any possibility of remote hack from the enemy
turning it on unsuspecting infantry that trail behind it.

The sensors it came with connected to the
Operator's HUD, typically a pilot outside of building in communication with the
team inside. The sensors are thermal imaging, Low light Imaging, Electromotive
force detectors, Audio sensors. All this joined by a small speaker for
communication outside of radio range.

#### Dock One

A halftrack
design was useful during earlier colonization days as it allowed vehicles to
turn easily while retaining the heavy lifting power that tracked vehicles
possessed. These were of course replaced by later models that had only tracks
or only wheels though for quite some time these vehicles served admirably. One
such vehicle was the Dock One. The Dock One was mounted with weapons typically
to stave off attack from small raiding parties when it was not being escorted
as well as defending itself from local fauna. Its armor was light enough that
the vehicle had great fuel efficiency though it was rather lacking in regards
to storage space compared to other transports. Nevertheless it remained a top
choice because of its speed.

### Mechs

#### X33-E

The Megladon
X-33E was designed to field heavy artillery that was fast, agile and able to
pack a punch. At the cost of adding large weaponry, the vehicle lost armor and
sensor capabilities. While initially the weapon was thought to be quite
powerful it was soon realized that it had a significant weakness to enemies
that were able to sneak close enough and disable it up close and also against
fast moving targets that changed location often.

#### A88E

A88E is more or

The legs were strengthened, weapon hardpoints added, and the hatch weapon was
given a shield as added protection for a prospective gunner.

#### A88

The A88 was made
by Armadox Corporation to serve as a tank buster mech that could easily plow
through enemy armored columns. The mech features very heavy frontal plating and
very good stability when unpacked. Unfortunately it often overheated and its
105mm main gun was incapable of penetrating the more heavily armored heavy
tanks of the time. Instead pirates often captured these vehicles as they were
headed to be decommissioned and used them to bolster their own arsenal.

### Tanks

#### SD-10

Light, fast and capable of carrying a single very heavy gun, the
SD-10 is an artillery piece known around the universe for its affairs in
guerrilla warfare and insurgencies. While the vehicle is relatively small it is
easily repaired by even novice mechanics and parts are easy to come by. The
SD-10 was built to mount any singular heavy weapon and retain a great amount of
speed. The unfortunate downside is that as with most artillery the vehicle must
unpack before it can fire, as well as its lack of armor. Because of its
stability however it can fire with great accuracy over extreme distances.

#### M013 Tank Hunter

The M013 Tank
Hunter features a heavily armored front plate with weaker rear plates to reduce
weight. The M013 has no turret and must fire at targets to the front of the
vehicle but can turn very quickly to compensate. This Tank Hunter has a fifty
caliber coaxial machinegun mounted to deter enemy infantry from getting close
enough to kill crew members with grenades or other anti-tank methods. The
frontal plates, as well as the side plates, are made with very steep angles to
prevent penetration from kinetic weapons which also makes it weaker to plasma
fire. The M013 was built with an auto-loader which removed the need for a
loader which reduced crew size.

#### UAP

The Alliance
constructed a long serving line of vehicles known as the Urban Attack Platform.
These vehicles were essentially a cross between a tank and infantry fighting
vehicle. While they were not as perfect as other vehicles specifically built
for each role the first model proved highly successful and later models were
upgraded to improve performance off road and increase speed. Most models
featured an iconic 120mm smoothbore cannon though some were seen carrying 30mm
rotary cannons in place of the main gun.
The vehicle was built for crew and dismount safety and thus there are no
gun ports where a round can slip through from the outside and all the weaponry
on the earliest models is controlled via remote control from the interior with
a manual override in case of the event of unexpected shutdown.

#### Armadillo

This super heavy tank never saw mass production and there are only a
few hundred thousand in the cosmos. While most of them can be found relatively
cheaply now and they are highly effective in combat, during the time they were
first produced they were not cost effective enough to deploy in mass numbers
onto the battlefield. Even the Wehrmacht was unwilling to take on their immense
cost. However with four light weapon mounts that allows a light weapon on each
corner, three medium mounts for one weapon on the turret and one to each side,
as well as two weapon mounts that are both side by side on the turret for the
main gun the tank is superior in firepower and of course has incredibly heavy
armor to make up for what it lacks in speed.

## Spacecraft

### Starfighters

#### Eagle SF

The Eagle Strike Fighter is an outstanding
ship even if out dated and technologically below the curve of modern
technology. The fighter is fairly fast for its time as well as being capable of
atmospheric flight for short periods of time.

#### Mako 359

The
Mako Air Superiority Fighter is a relatively dated design but a sound
fightercraft. The design was pitched to the Alliance Military as a mainline
fighter but it was rejected in favor of the craft currently in-service, though
some Planetary Guards found the craft a more than suitable aircraft for their
needs, due to its handy nature both in and out of atmosphere. It also managed
to find a small niche in the Civilian Market alongside this deployment. The
vehicle is capable of ground attack, but this is not recommended by the
manufacturers. The Mako ASF comes pre-equipped with two 30mm Gatling cannons
situated in the wing roots, and seven pylons; four mounted underwing, one
centerline, and two mounted to either side of the centerline pylon. The craft
is capable of taking most any weapon that can be attuned to the avionics and
will actually fit on the pylon and not break it, but the manufacturer
reccommends that it be limited to one-two heavy missiles per pylon when not
using an AI-VAM box mounted upon it. This is just a recommendation, of course.
The craft comes equipped with a Radar Warning Receiver, which will let the
pilot know when he is being pinged by radar, and whether it is actively
tracking him such as in preparation for a radar-guided missile launch. The RWR
is capable of identifying several types of RADARs from older-generation
aircraft and ground installations. Beyond this, the craft's capabilities are
hard to match both in-and-out of atmosphere, a combination of RCS thrusters,
gyroscopes, and plain control-surfaces bringing to bear one of the most
maneuverable fighters of its generation. The learning curve for the craft is
extremely steep due to the 'twitchy' controls when out of atmosphere, and
pilots within are required to use specialized G-suits, or a gel-filled cockpit.

#### Hornet Bomber

The Hornet Bomber class is a heavily
armored fighter class ship with a gun turret. The gun turret was made to
provide cover fire for ships that ended up chasing the bomber rather than
shooting down ships on its own. The gun turret is also controlled from the
interior of the craft rather than a gunner’s seat. The ship is capable of
atmospheric flight although it needs additional fuel to do so.

### Scouts

#### MMS-57

The MMS is a small
agile ship created by the Alliance for basic scouting, stealth, and
distractions. This ship is outfitted with a basic cloaking device, light armor,
and light weaponry. It has an indefinite power source but due to its size it is
unable to utilize warp drives and must be carried by a larger ship if it wishes
to do so. These basic scouts were made for speed and vision and are usable in
both space and on planets, although must maintain a minimum speed to stay aloft
as they are unable to hover.

### Corvettes

#### Mantis-Class

Mantis Corvettes are incredibly small for
a Corvette, armored and with deadly stock weapons. However, they lack
significant speed required to engage faster targets which makes them vulnerable
against fighter aircraft and against the faster Corvettes which are capable of
simply outrunning them. To compensate for this shortcoming, the Mantis is
equipped with some of the best sensors available and a cloaking device. While
the Mantis is fairly easy to take down in a head to head fight with properly
equipped starships; it is a force to be feared as an ambush fighter. Created by
Kolt, the starship has served many, many years including some time during the
Hierarchy wars where its class served with distinction against the invading
Balalonian forces especially over the skies of Passchendaele where the class
collectively scored over two hundred ship kills although forty of its own were
shot down.

#### Mikrosis MCB

Mikrosis went out of business a while ago
but managed to produce a worthwhile cargo vessel that is still in service to
many mobile traders even today. The MMCB was produced to be manned by no more
than ten while still being able to haul a large amount of cargo to and from
various planets and moons. While the ship was retrofitted to have FTL
capabilities it was never meant to travel far and fast. It does however have
ample protection against both fighters and frigates while still being nimble
enough to warrant safe docking procedures.

#### Silverback MC

The Silverback Missile Carrier was the
first and last ship designed by Silverback Incorporated which shut down as a
result of a lawsuit from a politically ‘correct’ activist group which quickly
fell apart to complain about something else they perceived as racist or bigoted
in some way. The Silverback Missile Carrier was a highly successful design and
was later given a new name to prevent additional lawsuits from occurring
although the company counter sued once the activist group attacked again and
soon after was branded as a domestic terrorist group in conjunction with a
number of attacks within the Alliance. The starship is very lightly armored and
very lightly armed compared to most counterparts of its own class however it
features anti-fighter capabilities that are unparalleled for its weight class.

#### Terra Cruiser Class-E

The Terra Cruiser has been extensively used
in trading companies for its fuel efficiency, low cost and decent performance
in low gravity as well as atmospheric conditions. In addition to being FTL
capable the ship boasts a large crew quarters that can seat a multitude of
people from all known races, a rec room, medical bay as well as a decently
sized cargo bay and a small armory for a few extra just in case weapons. The
ship is a good deal to take for starting adventurers as it also has a pair of
hangar bays where smaller craft can be stored for later use if the Corvette is
not a viable option for landing.

### Frigates

#### Marauder

Marauder class frigates were built
specifically for the transportation of prisoners and their personal items to
offworld prisons where typically a prisoner would be serving a life sentence or
capital punishment. During times of war, the Alliance has often hired the
captains of these ships to transport prisoners of war as well while providing a
modest compliment of Marines to support the crew in maintaining order. Marauder
ships are a unique prison ship which has withstood the test of time and doesn’t
fall into the category of most ships similar to it of its class. It has
incredibly light weaponry, just enough to defend itself from small pirate
attacks, so that should the ship be taken over by the prisoners it cannot be
used to create much incident against civilian targets while also having thin
enough armor that even most civilian ships can easily penetrate its hull with
their point defense systems up close. The ship is separated by decks with the
top deck containing the area for the crew to work, live and relax while
prisoners are kept in the lower deck away from the crew both to keep the crew
safe as well as prevent prisoners from having chances to contact anyone for
outside help. Lately, these ships have been seeing use in the criminal markets
for slave trading due to their incredibly secure nature from internal threats
as pirates board them from the outside and kill or enslave the crew and gain
new supporters in the criminals that are incarcerated within the vessel.

#### Ulysses BF MkI

The
Ulysses Battle Frigate was originally designed to be a fast cruiser but due to
Alliance regulations on cruisers at the time it was far too lightly armored and
far below what it should have been in firepower. The Ulysses nevertheless saw
extensive use in the Alliance military during the Unification Wars as well as
the First Contact War and later models of the starship are still in use today.
The Alliance has placed projections on the warships to last in service for hundreds
of years to come.
