Description: The HAVw-A10 Juggernaught is a massive assault vehicle based on the older HAVw-A6 Juggernaut. It boasted thirty two cm quadranium steel armor over its command, engineering and crew areas. The remaining hull is made from high grade durasteel. The alusteel frame helps the vehicle absorb punishment from the rapid speeds which it can obtain and from projectile based weapons.
The Juggernaut could reach straight line speeds in excess of one hundred and fifty kilometers per hour but suffered from very poor maneuverability. It had a terrible turn radius and was generally deployed in open terrain as it was near impossible to traverse urban terrain. When used as a military transport for cargo and ordinance it was capable of carrying thirty tons of cargo. Its capability to carry two full companies, up to two hundred troops makes it the premier troop transport of the Imperium army. A complement of speeder bikes and close support speeders could be carried in place of one of the troop companies consisting of four light armored vehicles and twelve speeder bikes.
An extendable scouting probe and lookout can be extended upward to give the vehicle superior spotting and fire control operations for indirect fire.
A light turbolaser turret is mounted on the dorsal hull and gives the Juggernaut long range direct fire capabilities in a full 360 degree arc. An aft mounted Hellcaster cannon offers anti-aircraft capabilities as well as offers anti-personnel coverage in the rear arc. Two dual blaster cannons give the vehicle a full 360 degrees of anti-personnel coverage. Two dual mounted heavy laser cannons give the Juggernaut anti-vehicle capabilities in the forward arc of fire. A Variable warhead launcher rack which could hold various types of ordinance tipped missiles, flanks the forward hull just aft of the command deck. This launcher had an effective range of two kilometers and could be loaded for a variety of mission profiles.This load out was generally chosen from the following list of available missiles types.
* Concussion Missiles
* Flechétte Missiles
* Incendiary Cluster Missiles
* Carbonite Missiles
* LC-9 Thermite Torpedo
Strengths:
Fast Straight Line Speed - It could obtain speeds exceeding 150 kph in straight lines with enough open space.
Large Assault Capacity - It carried two full companies of troops with bike and light speeder support
Weaknesses:
Very Poor Maneuvering - it has terrible turning and is poorly suited for urban operations
Size - it was a very large vehicle and easy to target
