- The dual-layer armor has some heat resistance from the Duravlex and limited lightsaber resistance from the Turadium.
- Many A-KDFAS shield emitters are fitted, causing the angular effect of the shielding to bounce energy, sonic, tensor, or other nonsolid impacts, but completely ignore kinetic projectiles or kinetic explosives. The shields react very effectively to rare light-based weaponry such as the Solar Ionization Cannon, forming an intense light field of their own.
- Six small EB1 flak batteries form an effective flak shield around the limousine. Well hidden, to look like part of the design.
- Limited offensive potential exists but it is not a focus. At the front, the TBD offers very fast-firing slug throwers, for a limited burst of extremely concentrated dual minigun fire. While the TRD on the rear offers dumb fire rockets to remove things like roadblocks, or anyone getting too close. Both are hidden turrets that pop up when activated.
- 4 SB1 Non-Lethal Drones can be deployed to harass anyone getting too close to the limousine.
- Style. it truly is a beautiful interior, with rich customized comfort by exotic leather, or cushioned fabric linings. Holovid access is given across multiple screens, with a well-stocked minibar for refreshments and light snacks. Lighting is colored to suit and toned as desired.
- Armor can fully incase the vehicle, or give anything from a 30 to a 360-degree field of view for those on board through tinted crystalplex windows. Windows that can darken or clear further to taste.
- The design can lower to use its four wheels if necessary.
- Very heavy armor layers offer additional heat resistance and limited lightsaber resistance.
- Onboard Scylla AI and Horus DCP interface allow for a great deal of different tracking data and visual modes, as well as coordination with other Scylla AI systems.
- A shield that sends back energy, sonic or other non-matter impacts outward, possibly hitting who fired it. Although offering no additional protection against standard Ion shots, the shield is highly effective against rare light-based weaponry such as the Solar Ionization Cannon, forming its own reflective light when struck.
- Holovid access and encrypted communications as standard. The HUD has a standard ECCM, Electronic counter-countermeasure, ability to resist spoofing, jamming, and sensor hopping.
- Anything denser than liquid will go right through the shields. For example, the shield offers no protection against kinetic projectiles or explosive rounds. Taking hits to the armor immediately.
- Only limited offensive potential exists. Frontal dual miniguns that will quickly run dry, and a dumb fire launcher on the rear.
- Because of the whiteout light effect when struck. Beam weapons or continuous fire against the shield can obscure any human driver or passenger's vision, thankfully the Scylla AI drives this as standard.
- The AI like all AI can be tampered with or hacked. Firewalls are present to slow or stop hackers, and Behavioral Inhibitors will stop direct commands to harm its occupants, but if a hacker is creative anything is possible.
This vehicle has two purposes. Transporting people safely and in style. It is exceptionally well-armored, sacrificing some offensive potential for greater defensive measures. Equally stylish as it is armored, with a minibar, snacks, several holovid screens accessible through the Horus DCP, and a robust entertainment system. Interactive games, a very diverse musical library, and holomovies on demand are present. All entertainment is built within an acoustically designed environment for maximum enjoyment.
In the main cabin, there is a clear table workspace with an inbuilt access point to the Scylla AI, for assistance in calculation or general workflow while on the move. Things such as the galactic stock exchange are easily accessible via any of the holonet screens of course, as are your secure messages, news services, and bounty listings, among a million other options.
On the security side, the armor is thick and fully encases the vehicle as standard. With the AI driving or a passenger is given control via a holo interface. Upfront there is a small cockpit for a regular driver if it's preferred, isolated from those in the back for privacy. When the armor around the tinted crystalplex windows is down, there can be anything from a 30 degree to a 360-degree line of sight depending on personal preference. The window can darken or clear further, depending on how much of a view the passengers want.
Lighting is colored to suit the passengers and toned as they set or request. Of course, the cabin is well heated or cooled in the same way. There is usually a professional chauffeur on standby with each vehicle, to either drive instead of the AI if a passenger requests it, or in case of emergency to take its place. If not driving his or her duties can include refilling drinks or getting new snacks from the small rear storage. A medkit is usually on hand, along with repair tools for vehicle maintenance.
The Hud has to be mentioned. It is top of the line and allows things like target tracking, multiple vision spectrums, ECCM countermeasures to things like jamming, and has two firewalls to resist hacking attempts as standard.
If the hoverlift system fails for any reason, the four wheels can take over, giving you the assurance you will get where you are going, no matter how many explosives they lay on the road in welcome.
Apex only had one comment to make. "Buy it before it buys you."
