Description
The Prime Mover is less a specific vehicle than a family of vehicles that have served military forces for time out of mind. Typically these six wheeled, three axle trucks use fusion engines to provide unlimited range. Each vehicle carries anti-personnel weapons mounted on both the left and right sides of the cab, and a 4-pack SRM is mounted on top of the rear compartment where the handler and gunner ride.[3][2]
Weapons and Equipment
The typical Prime Mover mounts a single SRM-4 supported by 2 Small Lasers. They have twenty tons of Cargo Space. Protection is provided by six tons of lower rated armor. Their off-road chassis allows for cross-country operations and have Advanced Fire Control for their weapons.[2]
Variants
- Prime Mover (LRM)
- Another popular variant uses an LRM-5 for long range fire support and adds a third weapon mount to the cab.[1] It carries two Machine Guns on the side of the cab while a single Small Laser is carried in the roof. The LRM has a ton of ammunition while the machine gun receives a half ton of ammunition. BV (2.0) = 184[4]
- Prime Mover (Succession Wars)
- During the Succession Wars, the small lasers were often replaced with Machine Guns while the SRM-4 was replaced by a six tube launcher.[3][1] One ton of ammunition was provided to the machine guns and the SRM-6. BV (2.0) = 193[5]
