Designer Notes
The STiner Missile Artillery Platform is a light battlefield missile delivery system built on the reliable Camel truck chassis. It is made exclusively by Davenger Industries, which purchased the Camel license in the late TN 1800s. Hyrdaulic jacks raise the large boxy launcher above the cabin into firing position, while exhaust gases are vented through special vents at the rear and sides. A sensor package located on the cabin allows the crew to make minor corrections to the trajectory of the rockets. These sensors are quite fragile and many crews simply remove them completely when they fail. Stinger missile trucks were put to extensive use during the initial days of the War of the Alliance to try and slow down the advance of the CEF troops. They were only mildly successful because the vaunted speed of the enemy hovertanks made it difficult to saturate an area with the inaccurate artillery missiles. Hundreds of Stingers were abandoned where they were parked, their launching racks empty and their supply trucks in flames. Engineers at Davenger eventually perfected a variant of the Stinger that used the heavier Talon-IV artillery missiles normally used to defend fortifications, with better results.
