Designer Notes
Introduced in TN 1684 along with its cousin the Desert Jager, the Swamp Jager represented the other side of the Southern Republic's political policies, namely internal affairs. With the creation of the Allied Southern Territories in TN 1681, the Southern Republic became the de facto ruler of the southern hemisphere. However, in order to maintain that position, the SR needed a Gear that could outperform AST vehicles in the southern landscape of jungle and swamp. The Swamp Jager was developed with an eye towards the suppresion of internal uprisings. Dissidents can use the hungles and marshy areas as natural fortresses in which to escape, only to emerge and cause trouble later. The Swamp Jager reduced the effectiveness of this watery refuge, and helped eliminate pockets of rebels which would otherwise have continued to spread dissension. The dense foliage of some of the swamps in the south resulted in a dramatic drop in sensor range, with the consequence that a lot of combat in those areas was done at very close range. The nature of combat became much more like a game of blind man's bluff, an enemy appearing and disappearing from one step to another, where even experienced pilots could be caught by surprise. The Swamp Jager was modified to take all of this into account.
