Designer Notes
All corporations use Armored Personnel Carriers to move their security troops around their installations, and the designs are often very similar to one another. Many of these vehciles were co-opted by the invading Earth forces for their own use, and some have also fallen into Liberati hands over the decades.

The Amalek is typical of the model currently favored by the corporations. It is a sturdy vehicle capable of operating both in the city and in the wasteland, thanks to its high ground clearance and powerful transmission system. Each wheel is mounted on an independent articulated arm that allows the driver to optimize the suspension for the terrain; the arm's mechanisms are rugged and based on early walker technology, and share many similarities with Gear motive systems.

The vehicle's main hull is divided into two compartments, one for the driver at the front and another, capable of holding twelve troopers and their equipment, at the back. The extra space came in handy when dealing with the powerful Mordred-series GREL, who are usually carried in groups of ten. Wide doors at the back and the sides ensure a fast exit, which the driver usually facilitates by lowering the entire vehicle as close to the ground as possible.
