Description[edit]
The Randolph is an early combat vehicle which was developed near the dawn of the Age of War, just after 2300.[2] The vehicle's intended mission was to support frontline troops as a transport/support vehicle. The Randolph was produced Sphere-wide, seeing service with various factions and private units. The vehicle remained in service up through the Reunification War. However it was phased out of service by end of that war due to its obsolete equipment .[2]
Equipment and Capabilities[edit]
The Randolph is armed with three machine guns with Basic Fire Control, with one mounted in the front and the one on each side. The vehicle is protected by two tons of BAR 5 grade armor, which was considered good armor protection when it was first introduced into service. Aside from the vehicle's 9 ton cargo capacity, it can tow additional cargo or field artillery.[2]
It has been noted that a number of these vehicles have been converted into ambulances and command vehicles.
Design Quirks[edit]
The Randolph features Tractor Chassis Modification and has the following Design Quirks:
It is built as a primitive combat vehicle, which is similar to construction rules for support vehicles.
