Order Main Battle Hoverdyne - O1/MAT-3 “Lynx”
Firepower Great Armor Good
Health Medium Speed Good
View range Medium Stealth None
Perception None Tech level 2
The O1/MAT-3 is the Order
Main Battle Hoverdyne, a
medium sized hoverdyne
with a turret-mounted
particle beam accelerator.
The Lynx have good speed
and maneuverability rating
compared to the Crayven
equivalent making it an ideal
offensive hoverdyne for
most combat situations.
The Lynx turret mounts the
Shogata-PDX9 “Messenger”
which is the latest version
of the first energy based vehicle weapon ever produced. The weapons internal fusion
reactor heats particles into plasma, which is accelerated out of the specially designed
barrel against the target. The Shogata-PDX9 is incredible expensive and requires
enormous resources for upkeep compared to conventional large caliber guns. In
order to preserve the secrecy of the plasma accelerators, the Order have installed
a remote controlled self-destruct device that overheats the fusion reactor, resulting
in a massive and lethal plasma burst.
The turret does not have an adequate targeting computer for aerodyne tracking,
making it defenseless against enemy aerodynes. Its electro-treated heavy polysteel-20
shockplates, mainly concentrated to the front and sides, are however capable
of withstanding a great deal of punishment before collapsing.

plasma over a wide area, lethal to infantry. 3 charges.
Plasma Moonburst The Plasma Moonburst is a single charge anti-infantry weapon.
1 charge.

Order Light Hoverdyne - O1/SAC-34 LAT “Sculptor”
Firepower Medium Armor Medium
Health Medium Speed Good
View range Medium Stealth Low
Perception Low Tech level 1
The O1/SAC-34 LAH is
a highly advanced
hoverdyne used for
reconnaissance patrols,
fast attack and deep
scout missions.
The fitted Rover-8005
battle engine makes it
fast and maneuverable.
The primary weapon
mounted on the
Sculptor is the Order
developed 20kMhz Electro Discharge Cannon “Lightning Strike”. It is still considered by
the Tech Priests in the Pax Dei to be highly experimental and ongoing modifications
and tweaking are made on a monthly basis. Even so it has been authorized to be used
on the battle field. The rapid firing Electro Discharge Cannon is capable of defeating
light titanium alloys with ease. The turret is equipped with both ground targeting
sensors and a Hugh G4 aerodyne tracking unit.
Order forces regularly use the Sculptor for fast flanking maneuvers, letting heavier
hoverdynes soak up the main enemy fire. The Electro Cannon can be extremely devas-
tating when engaging enemy infantry as it’s rapid firing system is better suited for
small targets compared to the particle beam accelerators fitted on heavier Order
hoverdynes.
The Sculptor is lightly armored with a layer of titanium fused Heavy Polysteel-15 and
can definitively hold its own unless cornered by Anti-Tank defeating weapons.
Special Weapons
Electro Dagger The Electro Dagger sends forth an extremely concentrated electro
discharge that is designed to penetrate heavy armor. 3 charges.
Electro Field Electro Field is an area effect variant of the Electro Dagger
designed to wipe out concentrations of enemy infantry. 3 charges.
Equipment
Repair Module Tools and software for minor field repairs to armor plates and
vital systems. 3 charges.
