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. My site is down for rebuilding, but sooner or later the old stuff should reappear at omeyer.gmxhome.de Onno Meyer, 2007-04-30
Kfang N.Th. Kuguk-150 Earthmover v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL7) Copyright 2007 by Onno Meyer The Kuguk-150 is produced on several worlds of the Vargr Extents and exported to the Spinward Marches. Like many Vargr designs, it combines sharp angles, garish colors and and more lights, horns and sirens than strictly necessary.
