General Details
Name: Armored Motive System
Type (Category): Equipment (Other)
Reference: Tactical Operations: Advanced Units & Equipment (p. 95)
Description:
As part of a far more ambitious plan to enhance the durability and flexibility of their conventional forces (the same plan that attempted to revisit the Kanga jump tank concept which resulted in the Hephaestus hovertank), Clan Hell’s Horses’ scientists explored new techniques in reinforcing and protecting the vulnerable motive systems for their ground-based combat vehicles. Though weighty, the concept was at least partially successful. A shift in Horses’ priorities, however, prevented widespread development. Rumors of this breakthrough, however, intrigued engineers at IrTech, who recently managed to duplicate the Clan’s techniques using Spheroid technology.
Game Rules:
Armored Motive Systems apply an additional –2 modifier to any rolls made on the Motive System Damage Table for a vehicle equipped with this system. A result of 2 or less reflects no effect to the vehicle’s motive systems.
