Description
The J-37 Ordnance Transport is a support vehicle used for resupplying military units in the field. Based on the earlier J-27 ordnance transport, it has been produced in the Capellan Confederation by Ceres Metals since the twenty-eighth century, though production was halted by the Succession Wars. In response to the failings of the J-27, the J-37 is larger, with the ability to carry 17 tons of cargo, and is better protected, replacing the vulnerable trailer with an enclosed hold. It also comes with a one-ton infantry transport bay and carries 5.5 tons of combat-grade armor. The vehicle's high speed, powered by a fusion engine, allows it to quickly get to its destination and, if necessary, flee from the enemy.
Weapons and Equipment
The vehicle is only armed with an ER small laser, meant to provide limited self-protection, manned by a dedicated gunner.
Variants
When originally produced, the J-37 was armed with only a small laser, as well as a weaker frame and armoring. When production restarted in 3076, the vehicle was heavily upgraded to its current configuration.
