105mm 'RAP' Cannons: The principal defense on the Bridge Layer, these cannons are mounted on each side of the vehicle - though not symmetrically. Armed with a laser designator for a +1 CS to hit, these guns can be fired to inflict Remarkable (30) Shooting damage per deadly burst.
Armored Bridge: the primary function of the Bridge Layer is to drop this device over a bad span of terrain, whether it be a narrow cavern or deep stretch of water. Spanning twenty three feet, this bridge is armored to the point that it has an Incredible (40) material strength.
Armored Hull: the Bridge Layer's frame is built from a titanium alloy / micro-mesh bonded hull, giving it considerable durability. This provides the listed Body and Protection scores above, and make it very, very difficult to disable while it is being used for its designed purpose.
Communications Array: the Bridge Layer is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system, allowing for constant team communications. This makes for Typical (6) comm power (with a 250 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.
Rocket Launchers: the Bridge Layer has a secondary defense in the form of these launchers, which fire anti-tank or anti-personnel missiles at a foe. These launchers can be fired in tandem to inflict +1 CS damage, and have up to 40 rounds available, which have these statistics:
| C Gd 10 |
