| Designer Notes |
| The Ammon is almost identical to its Moab brother, except for the leg design and other minor system differences. Whereas the Moab is intended for the tough surfaces of the planet's wastelands, the Ammon has been designed to operate near or inside corporate installations. The claw-like feet, damaging to ferrocrete and of little use on sand and other soft surfaces, have been replaced with large grooved tires that allow the vehicle to use the city's well-developed road system to move about rapidly. Power is supplied by a pair of high efficiency gas turbines placed in the rear section of the main hull. The entire powerplant section appears to be detachable, probably to facilitate maintenance and repair. This would also facilitate upgrades, such as the twin V-engine configuration seen on the Ba'alim (which presumably can be used on the Ammon as well). Like the Moab, the Ammon has a pair of hardpoints placed on either side of the hull. These are presumably controlled by the second crewman, letting the pilot concentrate on steering the ungainly walker. Most of the Ammons observed sof ar by the Black Talons have been equipped with a pair of lasser cannons, though a few reports indicate that a field variant replaces them with a cluster of guided missiles or autocannons. It is reasonable to assume that several weapon payload configurations exist, and all talon crew should be wary whenever Ammons are spotted on the battlefield. |
