NSDF M580A2
Scout Code Name:
Razor Vehicle Type: Armored
Reconnaissance Cost: 6 Scrap Built By: Recycler Weapons: Minigun
(2) Ammo: 1000 cells Armor: 25mm
EDD
Description: The front end of the US attack
force, the Razor is built for speed and agility with only modest armament
to aid in combat. It was designed as a reconnaissance vehicle. Relying
exclusively on it in a combat situation is not recommended.
While
the canopy design is almost identical, dubbing the Razor a variant of the
P-47 "Thunderbolt" fighter plane would be a massive understatement. It has
been retrofitted with twin V-thruster engines and a unique tri-mounted
stabilizer system, granting it speed bursts of up to 60 meters per second.
Recent modifications on the exhaust ports allow the engine’s thrust to be
aimed in any direction, giving the Razor a lightning fast turn speed as
well as limited vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) capability.

NSDF M60A7 MBT
Tank Code Name: Grizzly Vehicle
Type: Armored Assault Tank Cost: 8
Scrap Built By:
Unit Factory Weapons: AT-Stabber,
Minigun, Manual Detonation Mortar, Thumper Ammo: 1200
cells Armor: 30mm EDD
Description: Based on the
successful M60 series of ground tanks, the A7 is an extraordinarily
versatile fighter and the backbone of the extra-terrestrial forces. Its
wide selection of armaments makes it a devastating presence in almost any
combat situation, while its six-point Articulated Exhaust V-Thruster array
provides 2000 horsepower and the ability to reach speeds of 20 meters per
second.
Though still one of the most agile attackers in the NSDF,
the Grizzly is weighted down enormously by its special grade of
bio-metallic armor, capable of equally distributing damage (EDD) over the
entire craft. This fortifies the vehicle by making concentrated attacks on
a single part of the exterior ineffective.

NSDF M60A8 Rocket
Tank Code Name: Wolverine Vehicle
Type: Mid-Range Armored Assault Tank Cost: 8
Scrap Built By: Unit
Factory Weapons: Hornet Missile, Shadow Missile,
Proximity Mine Ammo: 1000
cells Armor: 25mm
EDD
Description: A variant of the M60A7, the
Wolverine differs from the Grizzly mainly in its armament. It is equipped
with Hornet concussion missiles for larger targets and advanced Shadow
heat seekers for fast-moving opponents, making it a strong mid-range
attacker, but a sluggish close-combat fighter.
The added load of
the Wolverine’s dual missile systems is balanced by a slight reduction in
EDD shielding.

NSDF M173
Turret Code Name:
Badger Vehicle Type: Self-Propelled Defensive Turret Cost: 6
Scrap Built By:
Recycler Weapons: Minigun Ammo:
2000 cells Armor: 20mm
EDD
Description: The M173 is a vital defensive
unit, best suited for use along the perimeter of a friendly base. Once
there, it immobilizes and deploys its STAB hooks (Stabilized Terrain
Adapting Base). The low-weight turret must be locked into the terrain
before firing to avoid kickback and maintain accuracy. The Badger can be
repositioned when needed, but it cannot fire when its STAB unit is not
deployed. Because of the turret's slow turn rate, the Badger is most
effective within a ridge or canyon pass where an oncoming vehicle cannot
maneuver around it. If used in this capacity, the Badger can handle
multiple attackers.

NSDF M47A9 Light
Tank Code Name: Bobcat Vehicle
Type: Armored Assault Tank Cost: 6
Scrap Built By: Unit
Factory Weapons: AT-Stabber, Hornet, Solar
Flare Ammo: 1200 cells Armor: 25mm
EDD
Description: A less powerful, less versatile
older sibling to the Grizzly. The Bobcat was designed to be the NSDF’s
main battle tank and served in large numbers during the initial Lunar
establishment years, but has fallen out of use since Dr. Arkin’s demands
for a more effective replacement. Nonetheless, the Bobcat is a low-cost,
reliable offensive unit.

NSDF B74CT
Bomber Code Name:
ThunderBolt Vehicle Type: Heavy Strike
Cruiser Cost: 11 Scrap Built By:
Unit Factory Weapons: Rocket Bomb
(2) Ammo: 1900 cells Armor: 20mm
EDD
Description: The Thunderbolt is one of the
most powerful vehicles in NSDF service. Chico Aerospace developed the
bomber to perform as a fast-strike cruiser, able to eliminate primary
targets before enemy defense units can provide support. In standard
configuration, it carries two of the potent BFE9 "Fire-and-Forget" Rocket
Bombs for single salvo attacks against heavily armored targets such as
barracks, Recyclers, and supply facilities.
Because of its
armament, the Thunderbolt is not well suited to extended mêlées
and should be given ample support if it is likely to come in contact with
enemy fighters on an attack run.

NSDF AAV6A4 APC
Transport Code Name: Tracker Vehicle
Type: Armored Personnel Carrier Cost: 6
Scrap Built By:
Unit Factory Weapons:
Unarmed Ammo: None Armor: 50mm
EDD
Description: The Tracker APC is well-armored,
but nonetheless vulnerable due to its lack of weaponry. The Tracker’s
functions are infantry transport and pilot recovery only. It should not
travel without a formidable escort, especially when carrying
personnel.
The Tracker carries five infantrymen which can be used
to attack lightly defended targets. Order the Tracker to attack a target
and the infantry will deploy and attack.

NSDF M183A1
Howitzer Code Name: Longbow Vehicle
Type: Self-Propelled Long-Range Artillery Turret Cost:
8 Scrap Built By:
Unit Factory Weapons:
Howitzer Ammo: 2000 cells Armor: 30mm
EDD
Description: The M183 Longbow is much the same
as the M173 Badger, save for its armament’s range and damage capabilities.
With its STAB unit deployed, the Longbow can accurately deliver heavy
impact shells up to 1000 meters away, carefully extrapolating the enemy’s
position based on its velocity and orientation when the shot is fired.
This unit compliments the field commander’s vehicle perfectly. Commanders
on the front line can order artillery strikes by linking with the
Longbow’s communications channel and relaying the desired
coordinates.
Unfortunately, the calculated precision of the Longbow
at long ranges makes it virtually useless in close quarters, where enemy
positions change rapidly relative to its position. The Longbow is often
paired with the Badger to account for this shortcoming.

NSDF AT9
Walker Code Name:
Sasquatch Vehicle Type: Mobile
Assault Turret Cost: 15 Scrap Built By: Unit
Factory Weapons: AT-Stabber
(2) Ammo: 2000 cells Armor: 40mm
EDD
Description: The mysterious product of a
long-dead alien race, the Sasquatch is one of the NSDF’s greatest assets.
It has far and away the greatest firepower of any vehicle, with
configurations that allow it to carry multiple missiles, cannons, mortars,
and special weapons systems.
The Sasquatch’s primary means of
propulsion is a titanium-reinforced hydraulic engine, powering the legs at
no more than 8 meters per second. Part of this lumbering pace can be
attributed to the weight of its thick EDD armor plating, making it a slow,
but almost unstoppable attacker.

![](library\nsdf_minelayer.jpg) |
NSDF LMA6
Minelayer Code Name:
Unabomber Vehicle Type: Mine Deployment and
Recovery Cost: 4 Scrap Built By:
Unit Factory Weapons: Proximity
mines Ammo: 2000 cells Armor: 30mm
EDD
Description: The Unabomber is a defensive unit
with one valuable function; it is capable of dropping smart-mines from its
fish-like hull that will not detonate in the proximity of friendly
vehicles, making them a safe and effective fortification along a base’s
perimeter.
To use the Minelayer, move it to an area that you wish
to defend. When the minelayer is in position, open a channel to the
Minelayer and tell it to Lay Mines. The Minelayer will
then start to move around and drop mines in a random pattern.

NSDF VS3E Reclamation
Unit Code Name: Scavenger Vehicle
Type: Remote Extraction Cost: 4
Scrap Built By: Recycler Weapons:
Unarmed Ammo: None Armor: 30mm
EDD
Description: An autonomous vacuum cleaner of
sorts, the Scavenger roams the battlefield on its own, gathering scrap
from downed vehicles and bio-metal deposits. The Scavenger works with the
Recycler and the Scrap Silo in order to offload its bio-metal harvest.

NSDF TU11 Mobile
Bio-Metal Fabricator Code Name:
Recycler Vehicle Type: Mobile Unit
Factory Cost: None Built By: None Weapons:
Unarmed Ammo: None Armor: 100mm
EDD
Description: The Recycler is the primary
building unit for the NSDF, and a necessity for establishing a presence in
unclaimed territory. It is weaponless, but heavily armored and able to
withstand extended attacks.
In its mobile form, the Recycler can
move freely across the battlefield. Once positioned over an energy
producing geyser, it deploys, exposing the massive construction facility
stored within its hull.
The Recycler builds vital base resources
and unit supplies, as well as basic offensive and defensive units. It does
this by projecting ultra-lightweight endo-skeletal beams inside of its
construction bay while generating extreme temperatures that melt its
supply of bio-metal. It then coats the beams with the liquid bio-metal,
and holds the new unit's engines and internal machinery in place while the
bio-metal cools. The entire process takes seconds.

NSDF TU8 Supply
Launch Code Name: Armory Vehicle
Type: Armory Weapons:
Unarmed Ammo: None Armor: 100mm
EDD
Description: The Armory serves a number of
purposes on the battlefield. Among them: manufacturing special weapons and
utilities, supplying ammunition and repairs to drained vehicles, and
establishing communication links with orbital surveillance
satellites.
The Armory is equipped with a special, catapult-like
structure that allows it to shoot the items it produces to the desired
location. This helps in maintaining supply lines during attack runs far
from base. Like the Recycler, the Armory requires a geyser power source.

NSDF Advanced Bio-Metal
Fabricator Code Name: MUF (Mobile Unit
Factory) Vehicle Type: Advanced Mobile
Unit Factory Weapons:
Unarmed Ammo: None Armor: 100mm
EDD
Description: The MUF is built by the Recycler
in order to manufacture advanced units. Like the Recycler, it deploys over
geysers and uses the same bio-metal molding technique. Its multiple
dynamic molding armatures allow it to build units with more intricate
designs and moving parts. Most of the NSDF's offensive and defensive
vehicles are built by the Mobile Unit Factory.
