Designer Notes
The Razorback remained the heart of most Northern heavy firepower Gear squadrons until the introduction of the Grizzly and even with the introduction of the Bear many pilots and technicians sought to press the Razorback into a fire support or combined assault/fire support role. Of the countless conversions made in the field for this purpose, the so-called "peacemaker" package is the best known for historical reasons. The first Peacemaker Razorback was piloted by Captain William "Wild Bill" Reynalds of the Western Frontier Protectorate Army, one of the most flamboyant and famous Northern Gear pilots of the TN 1800s. Reynalds led his company of Razorbacks and Bears -- the 157th Mad Slashers -- to spectacular victories in the Protectorate's frequent Badlands skirmishes with the Southern Republic. Reynalds's trademark Gear was a well-disciplined, slate-grey Razorback called "Peacemaker" that he had converted to sport a powerful back-mounted 85mm rocket pack, as well as spiked knuckles and a massive, waist-mounted MR-95 Vulcan autocannon system originally scrounged from a destroyed Western light tank. While the Vulcan cannon was the most visually obvious feature of "peacemaker" it was the heavy rocket pack which gave the Gear the indirect fire and long range firepower the main design was missing. With the direct fire power of the Vulcan added to the mix, Reynalds's Gera was a truly devastating machine.
