Designer Notes

The Camel is a large and sturdy transport truck frequently used by military and paramilitary groups. Large numbers have been sold all over the planet during the fifty cycles of existence. It was designed as a replacement for century old Dromedary line of trucks, an eight-wheeled design whose sales drastically dropped after cuts in quality turned it into a hopeless lemon. The Camel's frame has six large wheels attached to a heavy-duty suspension. The early design called for an eight-wheeled vehicle just like the Dromedary, but stronger and lighter materials allowed for the reduction to six wheels, greatly simplifying the engineering and reducing the potential for transmission damage. The engine is a diesel type powerplant linked to a high-efficiency computer-controlled transmission. Most Terranovan trucks come with a simple radio system, and the Camel is no exception. Although it is adequate for normal use, its range and the quality of its transmissions are drastically reduced under combat conditions and cannot penetrate ECM. Some Camels are also equipped with a pintle-mounted machine gun situated on the top of the driver's cab, just beside the searchlight. In the Badlands, this is often a valuable deterrent against aggressive animals or against Rovers.
