Description
The Zephyros Infantry Support Vehicle (abbreviated Zephyros ISV), was a Clan Hell's Horses Combat Vehicle produced on Kirchbach in the early 3080s after the Word of Blake Jihad had ended. The vehicle was conceived as a means to be able to shore up the Clan's conventional forces after being cut off from the Clan Home Worlds.
Powered by a 180-rated Fusion Engine, the Zephyros is a speedy vehicle. Five and a half tons of “Magnum” Ferro-Fibrous Composite has been used to protect the vehicle from enemy fire. In addition, the vehicle employs a Guardian ECM Suite to help deal with more electronically sophisticated opponents.[3]
Weapons and Equipment
The Zephyros's main weaponry is pair of Series 2b Extended Range Medium Lasers which are mounted in the vehicle's turret. Also found in the turret is a pair of Light Machine Guns which gives the vehicle means fend off infantry elements. It carries one ton of ammunition for these weapons.[4]
Variants
