the Desert Fox

Intended for use in the harshest of desert climates, the aptly named Desert Fox is a 6WD all-terrain vehicle. Designed as a fast attack, front-line assault or advanced recon vehicle, the Desert Fox has an m.s. of 10, and is fully equipped with the following vehicular capabilities:

Anti-aircraft Cannon (a): housed in a turret behind the two passenger seats of the Desert Fox, this rear-facing cannon can swivel in 90 degrees horizontally or vertically. It inflicts the gunner's Agility +6 damage in a short burst, +7 when fired full auto.

Body Armor (s): the Desert Fox is built tough. It has an armored radiator, a stiffened roll bar, and three-layer modular wheels (with self-sealing foam and a 'bullet proof' rating), a total package that provides the vehicle and its occupants +3 protection.

Communications Array (i): the Desert Fox is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system. This makes for intensity 6 communications power (with a 250 mile range) that has intensity 10 signal encryption.

Deflection (i): the Desert Fox's front end is engineered with a ballistic shape in mind, in order to best avoid incoming damage. Any attack coming from the front of the Desert Fox has to contend with a -2 worth of deflection, no matter its type or origins.

Lightning Lamps (i): these hood-mounted, high-intensity off-road head-laps allow the Desert Fox to operate night or day. They can fill an area with intensity 8 light, and in the right conditions can provide an excellent blinding attack.

Lightning Speed (a): there's no two bones about it, the Desert Fox is fast on its six wheels - why else do you think Skidmark likes it so? The Desert Fox has this ability at intensity 4, allowing it to move at approximately 120 m.p.h.

Scorpion Anti-tank Missiles (i): the Desert Fox has two surface to surface anti-tank missiles mounted on its roll cage. These powerful projectiles inflict intensity 11 damage each, adding a +1 if both strike a target at the exact same time.

Xenon Lamps (i): in addition to its regular driving lamps, the Desert Fox has a second set of lights - this one mounted on the roll cage of the vehicle. These also provide intensity 8 illumination, but can be used with the others to boost the total value by +2.
