The Mountaineer is expensive, but most consider it a bargain in the long run. It’s tough, roomy, and well-equipped, and its special six-wheeled design gives it remarkable handling. The electric engine version has a range of 600 miles. The Mark 2 is double the cost but larger (152,000 credits for the Mk2 electric model).
Affectionately known as "Bessie," this souped-up ATV has been provided to your unit to meet transportation and combat needs. It comfortably seats two drivers and eight passengers; additional passengers may be able to fit but will make things cramped. The Tomorrow Legion has outfitted the vehicle with extra armor plating and a light rail gun (mounted on the roof). Bessie is the property of the Legion and has been issued to our unit so we can achieve our mission objective. The vehicle isn't ours, so treat her as such.
