Tomahawk Class Combat Transport Vehicle or (CTV-180 Tomahawk)

The CTV 180 Tomahawk was created and designed as a transport vehicle for Marines and the equipment they need for ground operations. The CTV-180 Tomahawk was never intended to be warp capable, it's main purpose is to transport Marines and equipment from ships in or near orbit to and from combat zones on planetary surfaces. The CTV-180 is capable of interplanetary space flight when necessary but it's range is limited and because of the lack of any meaningful arms it is highly recommended that this vehicle avoid any direct engagements with starships or heavily shielded facilities.

The CTV-180 can be converted for multiple purposes when the need arises, they can be used to ferry wounded out of the combat zones or reconfigured to a mobile command platform. The CTV-180 is also equipped with Electronic Countermeasures that allow it to jam enemy sensors and communications on planetary surfaces.

An excellent vehicle for scouting the ATV-CH380 is perfect for monitoring enemy troop movement or scouting foreign terrain. Although small in size it is a powerful vehicle capable of operating in almost any environment. Used to carry 1 Marine the ATV-CH380 is an unarmed craft in itself, the only weaponry on the vehicle would be that carried by the Marine operating the unit.

Role: Ground effect, single marine Vehicle Length: .98 m Speed: max 100kmph (flataway) Engines: Magneteohydrodyne

Computer System: None Crew: 1 (2 in emergency use) Gravity: None Armor: None Armaments: None

Shielding: None Misc.: Built in COMM unit relay

Variants: Scout (with enhanced relay and ECM 'saddlebag' packs.

FAV-260 Warthog

The was designed from the ground up to be a fast attack vehicle. Capable of traversing almost any terrain the FAV-260 can carry a crew of up to 5 Marines and be fitted with weaponry that would allow it to wreak havoc behind enemy lines. With a top speed of 120 mph the FAV-260 can get a small squad of Marines in or out of a hot zone quickly. The FAV-260 is best utilized as a patrol and support vehicle and allows for patrols to cover a much greater area than by foot.

Variants: Scout (with enhanced relay and ECM packs.) Command (with enhanced computer uplinks replacing SAW mount)

ARGOS Light Vehicle

Name: ARGOS Starfleet ATV Designed as a light scout and RECON Vehicle, it's unique in that it is collapsible and easily carried by three individuals. Scant body and chassis construction, and a notable lack of armor allow this. An unarmoured SAW attachment point on the roof allows limited firing arcs, but no gunner coverage whatsoever.

M577 Armored Troop Carrier, All Terrain

Name: M577 Codenamed 'Priestess' 32 of these are on loan to the MFI SS/SOC. They're authorized for 75 from our stock of 475, but they don't have the mechanics to keep these beauties working. This is the standard, all-terrain APC used by the MFI Marine Corps. It's a lightweight unit, and with the turret stowed, it can fit the standard UD-4L Dropship for Combat deployment. It has a bonded-ceramic reinforced chassis, and the interior is spacious. The drivers compartment can be sealed apart from the troop compartment, and the configuration of dual-life support systems allows for sealed-atmosphere use. The troop compartment has ample weapon and troop storage, and some units can be retro-fitted with a Tactical Operations suite, which allows Commanders the ability to receive data,voice and video streams from troops or slaved units, as well as relay this data to a mothership.
