"Oooh I'm in heaven again
Strengths:
Purchased after a failed over extension of the SoroSuub Coporation's foray into luxury speeder vehicles, Ash looked at the lot of mothballed vehicles and saw opportunity. Re-fitting them with high-grade security technology and redesigning the seat space to allow for security forces instead of droid pilots, the "Combat Limousine" line was christened, and made for a luxurious, meaningful statement on the battlefield. Powered with a high-end repulsor engine and lightly armored, the Shadow class lives up to it's name, gliding quietly and with immense agility through any battle-zone it's deployed to, typically urban combat areas.
While the vehicles are both outlandish and prohibitively expensive, They are excellent transport for VIP's with security problems, and are often used as part of a rented escort package for celebrities and politicians who have need of temporary secure transportation. The mini-bar can be stocked to the preference of the leasing party, and includes some concealed compartments for goods that are best not put on a customs form.
Some times referred to as the "death-mobile" due to it's size and shape reminiscent of a large black scythe-blade, a few of the Assessors and other field commanders have their own models on retainer, either as personal transports or dangerous insertion vehicles. Mr. Ash himself has on two occasions jumped out of the moon-roof to assault another vehicle during a fire-fight, but this course of action is not recommended to most officers for safety reasons.
"Oooh I'm in heaven again
I've got everything
Like a moving ground, an open road
And everything"
Like a moving ground, an open road
And everything"

Strengths:
- Thread the needle: Despite being a little longer and little thinner, the damn thing moves like cloud in the moonlight, nimble and smooth even under fire.
- Paint it black: The War-limo looks so harmless and civilian that most people wouldn't guess it was an armed vehicle re-fitted for war.
- Here in my car, I feel safe and secure: The car is designed both of to prevent hi-jacking and driver substitutions, locking itself if someone without clearance attempts to grab the controls. Multiple drivers are usually programmed into any given car.
- Brittle as obsidian: While the war-limo is superbly intimidating and highly maneuverable, It's not a typically heavily fortified vehicle.
- Expensive as Aurodium: You didn't think a "War-limo" was gonna be some sort of mas-produced deal, did you? The damn thing's got more than our interns eat in a year in the mini-bar. Due to this, their squad size is surprisingly small.
- Hit and run like hell: The weaponry is enough to clear a crowd, but isn't meant for long-term fighting.
- Who can drive it: If the VIPS or passengers fail to appoint a designated driver prior to the mission, then only the crew will be able to drive.
