================================================================================================
Overview:
The smallest of the QuadVees, the Equuleus was designed to be a fast scout. Although
minimally armored and armed, it is fast for a QuadVee, able to reach almost 130 kph in both
‘Mech and vehicle modes.
Capabilities:
The Equuleus is an QuadVee at only 20 tons, but it’s well equipped for its scout role. It
has a full electronics package with an active probe, an ECM suite and a TAG system to spot
for artillery strikes. However, this limits it to only 2.5 tons of ferro-fibrous armor and a
single extended-range small laser for an offensive role.
There has been some talk of taking this design and making it into an Omni-QuadVee design,
but given the limits of the 20 ton frame, this has not been pushed forward with much
enthusiasm.
Deployment:
Given its abilities, there are many units pushing for having the Equuleus deployed to their
forces. Demand has thus far outstripped supply, so technicians are looking to see how
production can be ramped up.
