| Designer Notes |
| The rugged nature of the Caprician landscape forced the adoption early on of several tough transport vehicles, most of them tracked, to move popele and equipment between installations. These vehicles have evolved little since the first colonization of the planet, and are widespread among all the factions. The Mule, as it is often referred to, is a sturdy half-track vehicle used to ferry personnel and equipment across the surface between the mining camps. The truck's frame has twin tracks and large wheels attached to a heavy-duty suspension to absorb the shock of cross-country travel. The tracks are placed underneath the main cargo area for extra support. The powerful transmission allows it to haul a respectable amount of material across a considerable distance. The twin high-temp ceramic gas turbines, buried in the main body under the cab, can burn almost any type of fuel and convert it to power. The vehicle is powered by four electric engines connected to banks of superconducting batteries, which the turbines constantly recharge. The turbines can also be used for extra power if need be. The truck comes with a simple radio and navigation system, coupled with basic low-light sensors for night driving. It is adequate for day-to-day use, but is range and quality are drastically reduced whenever the vehicle enters combat conditions. The vehicle can seat one driver plus two passengers comfortably, and features a small rest area behind the main cab. |
