Designer Notes
The Assault Hunter is in almost every way a standard Hunter-class Gear, with only a simple change in weapons load. In some ways, however, it is a direct successor to the venerable Hunter Commando. Too costly to continue production during the dark days of the War of the Alliance, the Commando had its production stopped after the sixth manufacturing run. The Terranovan military infrastructure was bearing the brunt of the Terran assault, and could not afford to waste what little high technology they had on an older design; the expensive parts the Commando required were instead used on state-of-the-art machines, such as the Jaguar. Still, a machine carrying high firepower was required for anti-armor activities and it needed to be fielded quickly. If it could not deliver it through pinpoint accuracy it would have to do it by brute force.
