the Night Storm

The Night Force always needs newer, stealthier vehicles. Since the Persuader's two guns don't actually make sound when fired, the Night Force 'borrowed' a few, gave them a stealthy black paint job, and called them their Night Storms, which have these capabilities:

Communications Gear: the Night Storm is equipped with a gigahertz frequency, frequency wobbler clandestine operations radio system. This makes for Typical (6) communications power (with a 250 mile range) that has Remarkable (30) ranked signal encryption.

Dart Missiles: the Night Storm has a complement of six SAM-37 surface to air missiles, mounted on the rear of the vehicle. These missiles inflict +1 CS damage when two are used, and +2 CS when four are used. They have the following vehicular capabilities:

Deflection: the Night Storm is built with defense in mind. It has a highly angular body, with deflective slopes covering most of it and the turret. This causes most attacks against the vehicle to suffer a -1 CS to hit, though passengers hanging on aren't quite so lucky...

Front Pushbar: this reinforced, tubular pushbar allows the Night Storm to ram objects as though its Body were +2 CS in rank, as well as push powerless vehicles or objects, without suffering any real damage to its own frame in the process.

Heatwave Laser Cannon: the primary weapon of the Night Storm is this 10 megawatt laser cannon. Built to pierce armor (above and beyond most laser weaponry), the Heatwave cannon can inflict Incredible (40) Armor Piercing Energy damage with each terrifying blast.

Monopulse Laser Cannon: the secondary weapon on the Night Storm, this cannon rests under the primary vehicle weapon. It can be swiveled side to side in order for the Night Storm's driver to pick off smaller targets. It can inflict Good (10) Armor Piercing Energy damage with each blast.

Pinpoint Targeter: this laser reflective targeting mechanism, mounted on top of the Night Storm's Heatwave cannon turret, allows the operator of said weapon to fire with, well, pinpoint precision. The Night Storm's gunner may fire this weapon at a +1 CS to hit.

Xenon Headlamps: these high-intensity headlights allow the driver of the Night Storm to move effortlessly at night. They cast Excellent (20) intensity illumination at whatever is right in front of the Night Storm, and can be used as a blinding attack (with surprise).
