Alcyon Expedition Recon Walker

Alcyon Expedition Recon Walker (Military Landcraft)

This recon walker is a unique vehicle, custom assembled for the Alcyon expedition. The expedition was intended to penetrate unknown space and the planners felt that it was advisable to have at least one capable back-up vehicle which was not dependent on grav modules. The walker is fueled for up to four days of continuous operation including constant availability of surge power for the laser, but does not have extended occupancy accommodations. It is therefore not intended to be occupied for more than eight hours at a time except in case of extreme emergency. It is fitted with every sensor available at TL15 plus a 25MW beam laser and 2 heavy robot arms to allow some outside work. The vehicle can be controlled by one operator, but two seats are provided.

The transmission system is only capable of using 29MW of the engine output, and the maximum performance numbers given below are calculated at 25MW to allow for operation of the life support systems, especially the inertial compensators. If full power was shunted to the legs, speeds of up 480kph on road, and 384kph offroad could be achieved. It is likely that any crewmembers would be severely injured, if not killed, due to the inertial effects of traversing irregular ground without the compensators, and this mode of travel would only be used when controlling the vehicle by remote over-ride from the Alcyon.
