| Designer Notes |
| Nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) weapons are officially banned by the Rothchilde Accords of TN 1843 and several other treaties, but several major powers receive partial exemptions from the Accords or have continued covert development programs. The Hunter NBC, affectionately known by its pilots and technicians as the "Roach Hunter," is fully equipped to operate on a NBC battlefield in case these illegal arsenals are ever used. Like many other such vehicles, the Hunter NBC was developed during the madness of St. Vincent's War. As the child-killer St. Vincent's Plague spread across the globe, fears of NBC warfare and rumors that the plague was engineered by the South led to the creation of a whole family of vehicles capable of operating on such a battlefield. The modifications to the Hunter required to ensure such endurance were extensive. The whole electronic system had to be replaced with a heavily insulated system featuring multiple back-up systems designed to resist the electro-magnetic pulse (EMP) blackout effect resulting from a thermonuclear detonation. The pilot cockpit was fitted with a complete air-seal system allowing the NBC to operate in clouds of poison gas or in biologically infested areas without endangering the pilot. |
