Description
The Randolph is an early combat vehicle that was developed near the dawn of the Age of War, just after 2300.[2] The vehicle's intended mission was to support frontline troops as a transport/support vehicle. The Randolph produced Inner Sphere wide, seeing service in various factions and private concerns. The vehicle remained in service up to the Reunification War, however it was phased out of service by the end of that war due to its obsolete equipment.[3]

The vehicle is protected by 2 tons of BAR 5 grade armor, which was considered good armor protection when it was first introduced into service.
