the Assault Quad

The Assault Quad is a small, lightweight (1,500 lbs) all-terrain, four wheel drive vehicle. With a range of 230 miles and its heavy armament, the Quad is perfect for dealing with small groups of lightly armed infantry. The Assault Quad has a m.s. of 10, and these vehicular capabilities:

Box Missile Launcher (i): this rear-mounted weapon has ten fully functional missile bays, each of which can hold one miniature rocket. Each of these STS rockets come equipped with a lethal, fragmentary warhead, which inflicts intensity 10 sharp (physical) damage to all within striking distance of where they hit.

Communications Suite (i): the Assault Quad is equipped with a radio transceiver system, allowing the driver to send battle-field data to a central command, and then receive new orders in turn. This functions at intensity 5, and has a maximum range of about 100 miles.

Grill Missile Launcher (i): supplementing the Quad's box launcher is this secondary missile system, concealed beneath the vehicle's grill. This launcher can fire a single, short-range incendiary missile at the driver's target, which inflicts intensity 10 fiery (energy) damage.

Halogen Lamps (i): the Assault Quad's headlights are quartz-halogen bulbs that can illuminate an area with intensity 8 power. In addition to being able to brighten up one's ride, they can also be used in a pinch to launch a surprise, blinding attack under the right circumstances...

Lightning Speed (a): the Assault Quad has the ability to drive at intensity 4 speeds during ordinary road conditions (about 85 miles per hour), though this is reduced to intensity 2 (60 miles per hour) when driving off-road. Of course, at this reduced rate of travel, the Quad can get almost anywhere...!

Machine Gun (a): mounted on the front left side of the Quad is a small, rotary barrel machine gun. This weapon can be used to fire a short burst of ammunition which inflicts the driver's Agility +5 in damage, or a sustained stream of fire that increases this damage to +6.

Passengers: while most folks usually look at the Assault Quad as a one-man vehicle, it does have the ability to carry passengers - one, in fact. This is because the Quad has a fold-down stand for a body to hang on in the rear, though this can be a precarious position while off-road...
