SPECIAL FEATURES
Each Horse is built to order by the Judges of the Outer Rim Coalition. Utilizing the best in the duct tape and rust factory that is the Outer Rim’s national production.
Strengths:
- Fast and Lightweight, able to be loaded in most light freighters and made for quick movements on planet.
- Highly Customizable, from the factory, the Horse comes designed to the individual judge’s needs, but are able to be changed at a later date
Weaknesses:
- Undefended, the Horse depends on its speed, maneuvering, and the drive of the Judge.
- Unspecialized, as a swoop for a Judge, and out of the Outer Rim, the Horses are not all that strongly built, and serve more as an extension of the Judge themselves.
DESCRIPTION
The Durasteel Horse is built from the rust and duct-tape factory that is the Outer Rim Coalition’s own industrial factory, located on Terminus or Demonsgate. The Horse is commissioned any time a new Judge joins the ranks and are officially recognized as a Deputy. Visiting the factory, the Judge can take the swoop and customize it from several of the pre-set versions.
Each Swoop offers a level of on-the-fly modification potential, with each being granted a welding torch, extra battery pack, and a fire suppression system. Taking a card out of the dated Bounty Hunter Guild code, the Judges moved to make the Horse as useful as the Bounty Hunter, but with a sense of factory standards.
Each Judge can choose from a Propulsion System that specializes with either Very Fast speed or Very High Maneuvering.
Each Horse's chassis can be modified with
- hardened front and rear struts,
- physical buzz saws on the front,
- enhanced alusteel plating on the hull.
- slugthrowers,
- anti-personnel blasters,
- anti-personnel rocket pods,
- magnetic harpoons,
- electro-net launchers, and
- tractor beams.
- anti-tracking fields,
- anti-theft systems,
- flares,
- chaff, and
- silent-running engines.
