Overview:
The Zephyros Omni-QuadVee was designed to be a relatively fast striker unit. To enhance its
mobility, it was provided with wheels in lieu of tracks for its vehicular mode, and they
form a rather unique tricycle type arrangement with one large wheel at the back of the
vehicle, and a smaller wheel on either side on the front when in vehicle mode. The aft wheel
splits in two when in QuadMech mode, with half on each rear leg.
Capabilities:
Although it is not the most heavily armored QuadVee design; it is also not the least
armored. Utilizing an extra light 270 fusion core and an endo-steel frame provides the
design with 9 tons of pod space.
In its Prime configuration, a pair of improved heavy medium lasers and a pair of medium
pulse lasers are tied into a targeting computer, ensuring the gunner will hit what they aim
for, and an extra double heat sink helps a little to contain waste heat.
Alternate Configuration A is designed to deal with large amounts of infantry, with two small
pulse lasers and six anti-personnel Gauss rifles mounted to the frame. The latter are fed by
two tons of ammunition. To deal with larger targets, an extended-range medium laser and two
extended-range small lasers are also mounted.
Alternate Configuration B is a more generalist combatant, able to take on most foes. The
primary weapons are a medium pulse laser and two extended range medium lasers. Backing these
are a pair of short-range missile racks, each capable of launching six missiles at a time
and fed from two tons of reloads.
Alternate Configuration C is designed to be a long-range sniper, utilizing an extended-range
large laser supported by two small racks of Advanced Tactical Missiles supplied with two
tons of munitions.
Finally, Alternate Configuration D is a scout, fitted with an advanced electronics package
consisting of an Angel active probe, an ECM suite and Target Acquisition Gear for artillery
spotting. An extended-range medium laser and two extended-range small lasers provide
firepower against hardened threats while two dual-purpose small pulse lasers can defend
against both hardened targets and infantry threats. A supercharger was also added to provide
bursts of speed when needed.
Deployment:
The Zephyros is quickly garnering a name for itself, and it being requests by multiple
units. So far, demand is outstripping supply, so studies are being made to determine how
best to increase production capability.
