The Scientific One vehicles are mobile laboratories on wheels and tracks. The front tractor is detachable and can leave the trailers behind as it explores on it's own. Both the tractor and trailer have their own fusion power source.

Designed primarily for scientific exploration, the vehicles are not, at first glance, armed. All the external weapon systems are retractable into housings on the outside of the vehicle.

The mounted weapon systems consist of the following; Twin M85C .50 caliber MGs in turrets on the tractor top, 1 Mk3 Laser mounted on the tractor top, two side mounted Stoner M207 .30 caliber MGs on the tractor, and 7 Claymore mines around the sides. The Trailer has a retractable missile launcher with two Sidewinder heat seeking missiles, as well as two side turrets, each holding an M207 machinegun. Both the tractor and trailer have retractable gas jets that can fire CS, CN-DM, BZ gas, or white smoke, covering the vehicle for a twenty meter radius. There are ten charges of each.

The weapons are primarily fired from the driver's and commander's positions using the autonav/targeting computer system. The trailer also has one of these systems for use when detached. The weapons may also be fired from any terminal as a back-up system. The guns (trailer only) may be manually fired by crawling into the storage deck.

There is also a small towed trailer holding a 6-wheeled ATV and a dismantled Airscout gyrocopter. There is a Mk 2 HAAM Suit in the main trailer, as well as the following supplies:
