Originally designed for cost-conscious (underfunded?) planetary militias especially on the less-explored worlds with lots of rough terrain, this is a useful military troop carrier with all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering. It carries eight troops as well as two crew, the troops having a rear door exit similar to several equivalent present-day military carriers.

As such, it's really about TL7 (today's tech level) but could be enhanced with more extensive sensor suites or weaponry. It comes from the factory with a couple of smoke dischargers (to provide a smokescreen to get away, but also good against lasers) as standard, but there is a ring mount for the purchaser to add a weapon of his choice. It's designed for use in atmosphere, having only limited life support capacity, and has a nice camouflage paint job.

There is a nice full-page illustration of the exterior, and full Traveller vehicle statistics as well as some background notes. An interior view and/or floorplan would have been nice, but there is sufficient to get the idea of what is coming down the road towards you.

A handy piece of mundane military kit for planetside work.
