Ground Effects Vehicle, Armored (GEV) (Tech Level 13)

The GEV has a crew of 1 (commander) who is supplemented by a drone vehicle brain.  The commander and the vehicle brain are in the chassis.  The vehicle brain can drive the GEV and fire all weapons with a -2 DM. If the commander takes control of one weapon station, he fires that weapon with his DM. The GEV mounts a 16 MW Pulse-1 laser in the front chassis; port and starboard chassis mounted 3 cm hypervelocity mass drivers in side sponsons; and, twin linked 3cm hypervelocity mass drivers in a remote turret. All weapons have TL 13 stabilization.  Height: 2.1m (+0.8m turret).  Width: 3.6m Length: 7.0m.  Total volume: 54.54 m3. Weight: 117.702 tons. Price: Cr6,374,021 plus fuel and ammunition.
