The '''Fortune Wheeled Assault Vehicle''' is a more expensive upgrade to the [[Hetzer]]. Engineers at [[Defiance Industries]] designed the Fortune during the run-up to the [[FedCom Civil War]], but production demands forced them to delay putting it into full-scale production until after the war's end in [[3067]].<ref name="TRO:3067p22+"/>

A more expensive [[fusion engine]] propels the Fortune to a less-than-swift 54 km/h. Crews must rely on cover and overwhelming firepower to destroy enemies before they can breach this [[combat vehicle]]'s fourteen tons of armor.<ref name="TRO:3067p22+"/>

The Fortune wields twice the firepower of the Hetzer with two [[Defiance Disintegrator (LB 20-X)|Defiance Disintegrator]] [[LB-X Autocannon/20]]s. It also improves upon the older vehicle by mounting these guns in a turret. Eight tons of ammunition provide ample supply and the ability to use flexibility in munition choices. With the ability to use cluster ammo, the Fortune can damage critical systems to cripple enemy units after using slug ammo to punch through an opponent's armor.<ref name="TRO:3067p22+"/>
