Designer Notes
The Seeker is purely an information gathering vehicle. It carries only minimal armor and weaponry, and relies on its limited stealth abilities and the training of its crew to avoid being shot at. Its mission is to locate enemy forces, place listening posts and intercept and block enemy transmissions. Many Seekers work in conjunction with one or two scout Gears, which act as its ears and hands on the field. Like the Murdock, the Seeker sensor vehicle is based on a sturdy six-wheeled chassis powered by a single gas turbine. A small auxiliary generator is also present to run the sensor equipment without the main turbine. The Seeker has a large sensor array, allowing it to keep tabs on almost anything that moves within its sensor range. Two technicians operate the equipment from workstations placed in a roomy compartment in the back. The vehicle has a roof-mounted machine gun for defense against marauding infantry and a small rocket pod for use against anything havier. Both weapons are controlled by the driver, though duplicate controls are found at both crew stations.
