Howdy All...
No life. Friday night/Saturday morning at 4:00, and I'm submitting this.
I should be sleeping....
I've always loved tracked vehicles. Loved them to death. Love tanks too.
So, I have a character in my campaign that got a Scout/Courier on mustering out
and had done nothing but exploration duty. He had a 4 ton vehicle bay, and,
never wanting to just hand out air rafts, I designed this. Hope someone else
can find a bit of use for this...

Having been a great success in use by lower Tech Levels, the Bear IISS
Tracked Scout Exploration Vehicle was redesigned for use in Vaccum conditions.
With a starship quality air-lock, and total life support, the Bear is
considered to be the equivalent of a light tank in use with the Scout Service.
Protection is provided by a single 2 Mw Pulse Laser, mounted on top of the
vehicle in a closed turret. Capable of carrying 6 passengers, the seats can be
removed to provide extra cargo room, sacrificing the speed of the vehicle. The
removal of 5 seats would allow the installation of a singular bunk. The
plant provides an additional 1 Mw of excess power. Additional Panels will be
necessary for add-on equipment.
Watch now, they'll probably run the thing over a cliff... :-)
