Designer Notes
While many of the Iguana's variants are designed to improve the basic model's secondary mission as a trooper, the Lidded Iguana is an enhancement of the Iguana's scout capabilities. Designed as a dedicated forward observation unit, the Lidded takes advantage of the speed and maneuverability of the basic chassis. Indeed, the basic Iguana is often more than sufficient for short- to medium-range forward observation, but the Southern Republican Army requested a deep insertion observer unit and the Lidded is designed to fill their requirements. Speed and stealth are the greatest weapons of the Lidded so the Iguana's Vogel-7 rocket pod and the MPGU-22 pack gun have been removed in favor of a PR-25 autocannon rifle. The most critical alterations to the Lidded are in the power supply, however. To permit deep insertion a WV-790TC/B long-range V-engine replaced the standard WV-750TC/B. The new engine's increased fuel capacity and efficiency allowed for extremely long-range deployment. To ensure that the Lidded Iguana could remain hidden, a limited stealth package including a mild radar absorbent coating and a low-emission rig is included. The Obelisk MERIT 1200 sensor package of the standard Iguana was also upgraded to the more powerful MERIT 1500, although the larger equipment bay demanded the removal of the internal armor plates in the sensor pod. The electronic counter-measures pod was also removed to provide space and power for an impreoved laser target designator system.
