Order Drone Carrier - O11/BEHCCA “Orion”
Firepower Medium Armor Medium
Health Great Speed Medium
View range Good Stealth None
Perception Fantastic Tech level 3
The O3/BEHCCA
Drone Carrier is
an Order support
hoverdyne
designed to stay in
the background of
combat encounters.
A single Rover-
2000 grav engine,
with four side
mounted articulating
energy outlets, powers the six-crewed hoverdyne. Inside the heavily armored belly
of the Carrier is a large container module where heavy payloads of GHE Spider
Drones are stored.
An advanced targeting system identifies enemy ground vehicles and calculates the
targets’ movement vector and signature. The data is then transferred to a computer
inside each of the GHE spider drones. The drones are launched out of the carrier
and as soon as they touch ground they home in on their target’s signature. The eight-
legged spider drone is highly maneuverable and their combat speed tops most
terradynes. The advanced computer onboard the drone makes all necessary movement
corrections required to successfully strike the target. When the drone comes within
a pre-programmed detonation range, optimal range being 5 meters, the drone
explodes, sending shrapnel towards the target. To guarantee the destruction
of the target, a batch of drones are usually sent out at once.

increased explosive payload. 3 charges.

Repair Module Tools and software for minor field repairs to armor
plates and vital systems. 3 charges.

Order Artillery Hoverdyne - O4/DN9-FO OAH “Sagitta”
Firepower Fantastic Armor Medium
Health Great Speed Medium
View range Low Stealth None
Perception None Tech level 4
The O4/DN9-FO OAH or
Sagitta is a mobile artillery
hoverdyne armed with a
ballistic Proton Particle
Launcher. The Sagitta is
relatively slow compared to
other Order hoverdynes, yet
it still moves faster than
most Crayven terradynes.
The Artillery hoverdyne is
really fearsome when used
in conjunction with stealthy
forward observers.
A single gunner operates the weapon system launcher and it actually requires
surprisingly little maintenance compared to other Order energy weapons, though
greater care must be taken with its ordinance. The primary weapon, a BPPL-12
“Defiance” ejector, lobs overpacked and unstable proton particle clusters in a high
ballistic arc towards the target. Upon impact, the Schröedinger repulsor field
generators are disabled, creating an enormous energy discharge, resembling a
miniature nuclear detonation. While the heat and energy of such an explosion is
deadly in its own right, the sub-particle emissions of the blast cause electrons of
atmospheric molecules in the surrounding atmosphere to be literally stripped off.
This causes a powerful ionization field and wreaks havoc with all surrounding
electronic equipment. The dissipation of this ionization field, however presents
the most significant problem leading to recombination-independent photogeneration
which emits enough energetic photons to literally reduce armor to molten slag.
Infantry...does not survive a ground zero blast. The Artillery hoverdyne is fitted with
an internal fusion reactor that provides the launcher with the needed energy to
maintain the Schröedinger repulsor fields on all ordinances.
The Sagitta requires tight protection from other hoverdynes, even though its
Polysteel-20 shock plates keeps the chassis intact for prolonged firefights.
Special Weapons
TankBuster Discharge Improved armor-defeating capabilities. 1 charge.
LongRange Discharge A setting allowing the launcher to lob the cluster to
extreme long ranges. 3 charges.

plates and vital systems. 3 charges.
