M7 Wolverine

The M7 Ultra-Light All-Terrain quad bike, more commonly known as the Wolverine, is an ultra-light all-terrain utility vehicle employed by several human organizations. It is popular in both Civilian markets and within the United Space Command. The Wolverine is designed and co-produced by Anderson Mobile Technologies and Mars Corps Armory and has been in service since 2690. Both the civilian and military versions are available with a variety of upgrade packages, including armored body panels, improved suspension systems, and alternate engines. The civilian version is not rated to carry Knights without risking damage to the frame.
Its all-terrain capabilities ensure that it can travel over various types of ground without difficulty, making it the perfect vehicle for various combat operations that require rapid mobility and quick response times. Despite its relatively small size, the Wolverine is built to be very durable, able to withstand extreme weather conditions and rough terrain. The Wolverine's use in the Second Nuclear War played a crucial role in among USC Marine and Army reconnaissance efforts. Its widespread use has led to its continued adoption by the USC as an important asset.

Overview

Design details

The Wolverine is one of the fastest and most maneuverable ground vehicles in the arsenal of the USC military. It is a highly effective vehicle for reconnaissance, rapid transportation, swift tactical versatility, and for shooting between positions. A smaller cousin to the ubiquitous RAPTAR. The Wolverine is a small ATV capable of carrying a driver in the middle of the vehicle, and features a rear platform that can be used to carry one additional passenger, although official USC Military safety protocols advise against this. The Wolverine is often used for transportation of messages, documents and light cargo between units. It is additionally used by forward observers, sniper teams and reconnaissance personnel for rapid transportation. Like the RAPTAR, the Wolverine is a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle capable of going over any obstacle without any difficulty. The vehicle is powered by a 1,000cc liquid-cooled, mid-engine mounted, four-stroke, hydrogen-injected ICE, allowing it to reach at a maximum speed of 59 miles per hour. The Wolverine has a fuel economy of between 45 and 65 miles-per-gallon (depending on load), though stocking some jerry cans of Nanoreagent hydrocarbot and a carbon feeler can significantly increase the vehicle's range. The Wolverine is not equipped with any sort of radio or GPS system, or even any gauges, leaving users reliant on external means of wireless communication. As the vehicle carries a duel-machine gun on each side of the front fired by duel triggers on the handlebars. Due to its smaller profile, the Wolverine is a difficult target for both slow and fast moving enemy weaponry, as opposed to the Buffalo Squad Vehicle, whose size is somewhat substantial. For quick and practical deployment, the Wolverine can be transported by a Blossom Dropship.
