| Designer Notes |
| The unique Ferret no longer serves as the CNCS's standard reconnaissance Gear, that role having been filled by the Cheetah, but many Ferrets still remain in service, often in specialized roles that bring their unusual abilities into play. One of the most effective variants is the Saboteur Ferret, a sneaky demolitions unit capable of hand-deliverying a very heavy payload of timed explosives to a target location, be it a bridge, a cliff face, or an AST field outpost. The Saboteur makes very good use of its ability to transform into a low profile cycle mode, no taller than a standing infantryman, and roll quietly through the jungle or forest toward its goal. The saboteur uses a set of DC-IX gel charges that can be used to devastating effect, also carrying a M222 autocannon. Additional camouflage netting allows the already sleek Ferret to become even stealthier. The biggest drawback of the design, however, is that the charges are simply attached to the Ferret's chassis, making the chances of a devastating detonation caused by enemy fire a very real possibility if the Saboteur is discovered. |
