Overview:
In 3060, wanting to take advantage of expected contracts to replace equipment
lost fighting the Smoke Jaguars - not to mention possible contracts from the
new SLDF - New Samarkand Metals invested in a new Omni-tank. The goal was
something cheap, practical and capable of employing almost any weapon-system.
Capabilities:
The Jeep fills all criteria: the basic chassis costs under a million C-bills
and the loadouts rarely push it past twice that. Omni-technology allows them to
handle all but the largest weapons. While the Jeep isn't especially fast or
well armoured it isn't supposed to be. As sales slogans put it: firepower is
armour.
The addition of a small infantry compartment allows additional flexibility,
making the Jeep usable as an ambulance, troop transport or even improvised
command post.
Battle History:
Dismissed by the DCMS - which managed to avoid heavy losses due to the Smoke
Jaguar collapse - as a glorified APC and with the use of an imported fusion
reactor frowned on by the Conservation of Resources Bureau, the Jeep was dumped
onto the mercenary market and later exported to Allied units in the Federated
Commonwealth War. Others vanished only to reappear in the hands of Black Dragon
or even Blakist militias. As a result the Jeep has seen limited deployment in
almost all hands.
During the fighting for Dieron, late in the Jihad, a company of Blakist LB-X
variants and DCMS SRM variants managed to eradicate each other fighting for
Susukino City, a casualty rate that was many other battlefields. The sheer
firepower combined with relative fragility led to Jeeps being destroyed early
in most engagements.
Deployment:
Although some secondline forces retain Jeeps, production ceased post-Jihad and
the general draw-down of military forces led to retirement of many of the
chassis. Some found new uses in a 'civil' variant that hauls a standard cargo
container, and various tools for use in the reconstruction of shattered cities.
