==Description==
The modern '''Kruger Combat Car''' was a scout vehicle reintroduced in the [[thirty-second century]] as an update of a much older vehicle. The modern Kruger was developed by the [[Avalon Arms Company]] on [[New Avalon]] and marketed initially to the [[Armed Forces of the Federated Suns]] in [[3091]]. Updated to use advanced equipment and technologies, the Kruger became a popular reconnaissance vehicle for scout detachments operating in the spinward [[Inner Sphere]] as well as neighboring [[Periphery]] nations as far out as the [[Calderon Protectorate]]. The excellent communications systems and drive train allow the Kruger to operate effectively and retreat quickly as needed, and the weaponry aboard is capable of defending the Kruger or engaging in sniping, but the three and a half tons of ProtecTech [[Heavy Ferro-Fibrous]] armor is a light enough protection scheme to ensure enthusiastic junior officers don't forget that their priority is to report information back, not engage in stand-up fights.<ref name="TRO:3145FSp10+"/><ref>''Technical Readout: 3150'', pp. 26–27: Background information about the Kruger Combat Car</ref>

*;Original : the [[Star League]]-era original-pattern Kruger (introduced in [[2620]]), differs from the more modern Avalon Arms Company product. The original lacked the Heavy Ferro-Fibrous armor of the later version, leading to lower levels of protection—predominantly on the sides, rear, and turret. The original mounted a pair of standard [[medium laser]]s in place of the later ER medium lasers found in the turret.
