== Description ==
In service since the [[Age of War era]], the '''Sherpa Armored Truck''' is a logistic transport which is used by both [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Periphery]] powers. The Sherpa typically works behind the frontlines, providing the means to relay much-needed supplies during mobile campaigns.  Though not meant for the rigors of combat, it is a durable vehicle and its design has been adapted to perform various roles other than from moving cargo.

In service since the [[Age of War era]], the '''Sherpa Armored Truck''' is a logistic transport which is used by [[Inner Sphere]] and [[Periphery]] powers. The Sherpa typically works behind the frontlines providing as part of the means to relay well needed supplies during mobile campaigns.  Though not meant for the riggers of combat, it is a durable vehicle and it's design has been adapted to perform various roles aside from moving cargo.  
  
Despite being built to civilian standards, it is a simple design and that has allowed it to endure for centuries as a reliable backbone unit for both advanced and poor militaries alike.<ref name="TRO:VARp46"/>

Designed as a Medium Sized Support Vehicle, the vehicle has long been a staple providing crucial support to various militaries. Part of its longevity is due to its simple construction, which while highly durable is also easily repaired with commonly available civilian parts. Its armored chassis carries two tons of BAR 10 grade armor protection, which is the civilian equivalent to what is used for Combat Vehicles.  Powered by a Petrochemical powered Internal Combustion Engine, the vehicle is designed to travel long distances with heavy loads.  However, one of the Sherpa's known flaws is its high fuel consumption, which can be a hindrance in long campaigns.

The Vehicle is outfitted with a single military-grade Machine Gun, which is mounted in a turret. A ton of ammunition is provided, giving it the ability to last for prolonged amounts time without rearming.  While not as accurate as frontline combat vehicles, the machine gun's [[Basic Fire Control]] gives its gunner some degree of accuracy.
