| Designer Notes |
| The Basilisk proved its worth to the armies of the South by becoming the basis for a variety of technically advanced variants which belie th echassis's humble beginnings. The rugged and reliable frame came to house valuable electronics carried into the battlfield for various specialized roles. The Elint Silverscale -- part of the Silverscale family of Basilisk variants -- was just one such model, a very effective electronic intelligence platform. The Gear was designed to ravel quickly over contested ground an dmonitor enemy frequencies, jamming them if need be, but, more importantly, gathering valuable tactical information from intra- and inter-unit communications. The Elint was heavily modified for its task, having many of its composite steel alloy armor plates replaced by lighter ballistic cloth in order to reduce overall weight and increase speed. In addition to the target designator/sensor mast used by the Silverscale, the Elint was also equipped with secondary sensor pods on each shoulder and with a large listening dish. Together this package consisted of some of the most sophisticated electronic signal gathering equipment on the battlefield at that time. Offensive firepower was very limited, however, with the Elint shedding its Vogel rocket pod and PR-25 autocannon. A simple DP76 20mm pack gun was provided for defensive purposes. All in all, the Gear was not designed for combat, with few weapons, light armor, and vulnerable systems. |
