Designer Notes
The Nash Basilisk was one of the earliest Southern Gears to be equipped with a radar-absorbent material (RAM) coating in hopes of creating a stealth unit. The modifications were originally made by technicians from the MILICIA's 11th Gear Regiment -- the Rapiers -- in the TN 1860s. The Rapiers are one of the traditional regiments for members of the MILICIA's Legion Noire Auxilliary and so are treated more favorably than most MILICIA units by Republican supply officers and political supervisors. Consequently, the regiment was able to negotiate for a small supply of the RAM design manufactured by Shaba Aircraft for the Ghost stealth fighter. The complex, multi-layer lattice delivered was used to coat large parts of several Basilisk Gears which were then sent out for field testing. The Rapiers found that in open ground the Gear remained difficult to conceal, but that when used in combination with natural cover, the RAM skin permitted the vehicle to approach targets unseen. When the Gear remained immobile in cover, stealth performance was excellent. The Rapiers immediately began using the new model as an ambush specialist, equipping it with heavy weaponry.
