ALL
TERRAIN VEHICLE
The Marine's speediest vehicle is the
All Terrain Vehicle. Essentially four wheels and an engine, this ATV can
travel very fast over nearly all types of terrain. With no weapons on
board, the drive must use his own weapons for defense, though this means
taking one hand away from the vehicle's control.

BUMBLEBEE LIFEPOD
UNSC starships are always equipped with
a full supply of lifepod for emergencies. If or when a ship is required to
self-destruct, the crew abandons the ship in lifepods so that the crew
isn't destroyed along with the ship. These small spacecraft can sustain up
to 10 people each for nearly a week before it runs out of provisions and a
clean air supply.

workhorse of the UNSC Navy. It's main weapon are 110mm rotary cannons for
dog fighting in space. This versatile fighter can be armed with an
assortment of secondary weapons including mines, ASGM-10 missiles, bombs,
and even Shiva nuclear-tipped missiles.
In space its uses are for protection
from Seraph fighters and to damage Covenant Capital Ships.
In Planetary engagements they protect
Pelican Dropships and act as bombers, performing air strikes in hostile
zones.

D77-TC PELICAN
The standard method of deploying troops
from orbit to ground is the D77-TC "Pelican" Troop Carrier. The
Pelican has a capacity of three crew (pilot, copilot, and flight engineer)
and 10 passengers in it's rear bay (though it n accommodate five
additional standing passengers in a crisis). It is equipped with
electronic systems hardened against EMP; heavy armor; a 70mm "chin
gun" controlled by a gunner and an IHADSS (Integrated Helmet and
Display Sight System-essentially, wherever the gunner looks, the chin gun
follows); rocket pods; jamming and detection gear; an onboard weapons
locker (which can hold weapons and ammo for up to 30 troops); and
computerized mapping gear.

M808B SCORPION MAIN
BATTLE TANK
The Scorpion Main Battle Tank is
primarily an anti-vehicle weapons platform, but it also has very high
anti-infantry capabilities. Its ceramic-titanium armor makes it nearly
invulnerable to small arms fire, but its deep dead-zone, or the area
within which fire from the tank's guns cannot hit targets, puts it at risk
from enemy anti-tank infantry.
Up to four soldiers may ride on (and fire from) the Scorpion's track pods.
Riding on a tank is always hazardous and should be done only when the
advantages outweigh the risks.
The Scorpion MBT's four track pods operate independently, and have their
own range of movement. This helps considerably when crossing uneven
terrain, and can even clear most large obstacles.

SKYHAWK ATMOSPHERIC
FIGHTER
The Skyhawk is a jump jet VTOL (vertical
take off and landing) air attack fighter. It is armed with a quad set of
50mm rotary cannons, and Scorpion Missiles that are capable of destroying
tanks. It's ability to take off and land vertically, like the Pelican,
make it useful where LZs have no runway.

M12G 1
LAAV WARTHOG
The M12G 1 light
anti-armor vehicle (LAAV) is a variant of the Warthog-the M41 LAAG
machine-gun is replaced with a Gauss Cannon. Like it's counterpart, it is fast and highly maneuverable.
Although the Gauss Cannon makes it an effective anti-vehicle weapon
platform.

M12
LRV WARTHOG
The M12 light
reconnaissance vehicle (LRV), or Warthog, is the standard vehicle of the
UEG armed forces. It is fast and maneuverable, but prone to rollovers
during hard cornering. A three-barreled machine-gun is mounted in the rear
of the vehicle. Armed passengers will significantly increase the unit's
anti-infantry capacity.
There are several variants of the standard model including the M12 LTT
(light troop transport) with extended passenger capacity, and a variant
that replaces the normal all-terrain wheels with tracks for traveling over
snow and ice. There are also Warthogs mounted with gauss rail-guns, and
three versions with various classes of rocket launchers.
The M12 and all of it's variants are issued with a variety of features,
including four-wheel drive, independent suspension on all wheels,
emergency brakes, radio, radar, flood lights, a winch, and transmission
which is available in automatic or manual. It is powered by a forward-housed
low-profile hydrogen I/C plant. The hydrogen fuel is burned at very high
temperature with a synthetic carbon/silicon catalyst to achieve even
better fuel consumption.
Also, there is an unarmed civilian model simply called the "Hog"
which is available to civilians in varying color schemes.
