Rotunda LKY-1

         The 20-ton Rotunda was designed to be a self-sufficient fighting vehicle and home for its one-person crew. Its LTV 160 fusion power plant gives it the unlimited range needed for scouting and recon duty, and the craft can operate for extended periods of time with little maintenance or other support. These sturdy vehicles move quickly, at speeds up to 146 kph. They usually operate in large numbers behind enemy lines, monitoring enemy communications and troop movements while creating havoc with their impressive firepower. When it comes to raiding and reconnaissance vehicles, the Rotunda is in a class by itself.
         Maximizing the driver’s comfort, the single-man craft has ample storage for several weeks’ worth of food and water, as well as all necessary survival tools and equipment, including a portable stove, tent and survival gear. The craft contains room for a passenger, but the extra space is usually filled with additional gear and the driver’s personal effects.
         The Rotunda often shows up on identification profiles as a civilian ICE transport rather than an armored scout car. Its Mercury Weave ferro-fibrous armor offers respectable protection to the driver along with the control and cockpit components. The placement of those components, however, prevents quick entry and escape from the cockpit.
         The Rotunda’s weapons array includes a Holly SRM-2 launcher, one of the best known and most reliable missile systems ever created, and an Amdecker 300 large laser. Though respected for its accuracy, the Amdecker sometimes generates large amounts of heat, causing monitoring and ventilation difficulties. This heat buildup can damage the weapon and its mounting, requiring constant maintenance.
