Designer Notes
The Southern Underwater and Swamp Training Center in Port Oasis does more than train Sea Naga pilots. It also produces hte best and most versatile mechanized infantry in the southern hemisphere. These infantry are trained for both land and sea warfare. In order for these troops to get to the theater of operations, they need a special vehicle that can navigate without difficulty through even the thickest bogs. The Alligator is such a vehicle. Based on the proven Caiman chassis, it can transport up to ten infantry through almost any swamp with great ease. It is somewhat slower than the regular Caiman, but can cut travel time by crossing rivers, swamps, and lakes. The Alligator did not appear until after the War of the Alliance, but was still involved with the mop up of the tenacious GREL rebels roaming the southern hemisphere. Even today, a platoon of Alligators are deployed along the White River and hunt in the area. It is known as the "White Death," and while it is believed that no more GRELs operate in that sector, they still maintain their vigil in case they return.
