This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on a website or the like. With a slight delay, old vehicles appear at http://omeyer.gmxhome.de/GURPSnet_files/summary.html Onno Meyer, 2006-07-17
Hiver Warbot v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL12) Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer The Hive Federation uses warbots to protect the lives of the Ithklur Marines and Hiver Navy crews. Their standard warbots are comparable to the very best the Zhodani Consulate has to offer (the Imperium doesn't use warbots for historical reasons). The warbot is shaped like a Hiver, with a central hub and six evenly spaced manipulator/sensor arms. In addition to the integral fusion gun, it can use standard Hiver sidearms. The neural-net brain is capable of independent action, but it is not truly sentient. Subassemblies: Body -1, six Arms -3. Powertrain: 400-lb. vectored super reactionless thruster; 1,000-lb. contragrav unit; 30-kW NPU; two 540,000-kWs rE power cells.
