Vehicles (Cybergems)
A vehicle is a special type of creature, in that it has facing, and non-removable equipment which can only be hit from certain angles.
Contents
Facing
When a vehicle moves, its facing becomes equal to the direction it was moving at the end of that movement. Vehicles frequently have a minimum turning radius, as well, which is the smallest distance the vehicle can pivot around while moving.
Movement
Vehicular movement is fundamentally different from the movement of other creatures. Rather than taking actions to move, at the beginning of a vehicle's turn it travels according to its current Movement Mode; before doing so, it may adjust its mode up or down one step. The following are statistics of a Mode:
Minimum Speed: The minimum distance that the vehicle must travel each turn in this Mode.
Maximum Speed: The maximum distance that the vehicle may travel each turn in this Mode.
Turning Radius: The minimum radius of the circle that the vehicle may pivot around while moving in this Mode.
Components
Vehicles have special equipment which can only be hit from certain angles. A Left side item, for example, can only be hit by creatures that have a firing line to the left side of the vehicle. A glancing shot is less likely to be effective than a perpendicular one: if the angle from the firer to the vehicle's side is more than 45 degrees, the item has Cover.

Options
You may apply any number of the following options.
Hydrogen Cells (Targetable on Bottom side): HP 1, Toughness 4. If the Hydrogen Cells are destroyed, they explode, making a +4 1d6+2 Heat damage attack against everything in a 10 meter blast, hitting the car itself automatically. While functioning properly, the Hydrogen Cells grant an additional Movement Mode after Maximum Throttle — Turbo: Minimum Speed 1200 meters, Maximum Speed 1500 meters, 40 meter Turning Radius, Instability 1.
Automatic Safety Protocols (AI control required): The car has seatbelts which cannot be removed while in motion (HP 1, Toughness 3). It cannot drive faster than the speed limit or drive into restricted areas. When it is used to commit a traffic violation, the AI driver automatically takes over and parks the vehicle. Disabling these safety protocols has a hacking difficulty of 2.
Components
Tires (Two on Left Side, two on Right): HP 1, Toughness 4. Destroying a tire forces the car to turn as hard as possible in the direction of the destroyed tire. With multiple destroyed tires, the car moves for one more round in a random possible direction before coming to a halt.
Engine (Targetable on both Front and Bottom sides): HP 1, Toughness 5. Destroying the engine forces the car to travel at half the speed it was moving on the previous round, then come to a halt.
Movement Modes
Slow:
- Minimum Speed: 0 meters
- Maximum Speed: 450 meters
- Turning Radius: 5 meters
Maximum Throttle:
- Minimum Speed: 450 meters
- Maximum Speed: 1200 meters
- Turning Radius: 20 meters
- Instability: 1

Components
Tires (One targetable from Left, Right, and Front Side, one targetable from on Left, Right, and Rear side): HP 1, Toughness 4. Destroying the front tire sends the motorbike flying forwards half as far as it moved on the previous round before coming to a halt; destroying the rear tire makes it turn as hard as possible in a random direction.
Passengers
Creatures on the motorbike can be targeted from any side other than Bottom without having to shoot through the motorbike.

Armor Plating: The jeep's main body gets +1 Toughness. This weighs 1000 kilograms.
Treads (One on Left side, one on Right): HP 2, Toughness 5, AD 4. These replace tires. When a tread is destroyed, the jeep pivots on its axis 90 degrees, then stops.

Monster Tires (Two on Left Side, two on Right): HP 1, Toughness 6, AD 4. These replace tires, and are destroyed in the same way. The jeep can roll over obstacles up to 2 meters high. The jeep's turning radii are increased by 50%.
Components
Tires (Two on Left Side, two on Right): HP 1, Toughness 5, AD 8. Destroying a tire forces the jeep to turn as hard as possible in the direction of the destroyed tire. With multiple destroyed tires, the jeep moves for one more round in a random possible direction before coming to a halt.
Engine (Targetable on both Front and Bottom sides): HP 2, Toughness 6, AD 8. Destroying the engine forces the jeep to travel at half the speed it was moving on the previous round, then come to a halt.

The battlemech is worth 20 additional points.
Components
Legs (Two, targetable from any side except Top): HP 2, Toughness 6, AD 5. Destroying a leg forces the battlemech to fall prone, and lose the ability to stand up again.
Engine (Targetable from Rear): HP 2, Toughness 7, AD 5. Destroying the engine forces the battlemech to travel at half the speed it was moving on the previous round, then come to a halt.

| Descriptors [ Machine ] | |
| Size 4 meters Reach 0 meters | |
| Carrying Capacity 400 kilograms Weight 3000 kilograms | |
| Power Storage 1 Power Regeneration 1 |
The Helicopter cannot be equipped with upward-firing weapons.
Options
You may apply any number of the following options.
Tires (Two on Left Side, two on Right): HP 1, Toughness 4. Tires grant an additional Movement Mode before Slow — Ground: Minimum Speed 0 meters, Maximum Speed 150 meters, 8 meter Turning Radius, usable only while on the ground. Destroying a tire forces the helicopter to turn as hard as possible in the direction of the destroyed tire. With multiple destroyed tires, the helicopter moves for one more round in a random possible direction before coming to a halt. Tires (and the engine mechanisms which support them) weigh a total of 200 Kilograms.
Extra Cargo: The helicopter's size increases by 4 meters, its turning radii double, and its carrying capacity is multiplied by 4.
Vectored Jets: Instead of a Rotor, the helicopter has two vectored jets, one targetable on every side except Left, and one targetable on every side except Right. Destroying either one causes the helicopter to fall from the sky, with extra spin and force causing the effective fall distance to double. The helicopter's maximum and minimum speeds and climb double for all movement modes. The helicopter can now be equipped with upward-firing weapons.
Components
Rotor (Targetable on every side other than Bottom): HP 1, Toughness 5. Destroying the Rotor forces the helicopter to fall from the sky.

The fighter jet is worth 15 additional points.
Hypersonic: The fighter jet is optimized for speed, granting three new Movement Modes after Supersonic — Extremely Fast: Minimum Speed 7500 meters, Maximum Speed 20000 meters, Turning Radius 80000 meters, Instability 3; Excessively Fast: Minimum Speed 20000 meters, Maximum Speed 30000 meters, Turning Radius 110000 meters, Instability 4; and Low Orbit: Minimum Speed 30000 meters, Maximum Speed 37500 meters, Turning Radius 160000 meters, Instability 4. Each of these movement speeds has 90 degree Climb. The fighter jet is worth 15 additional points.
Stealth: The fighter jet becomes undetectable to radar and TEMPEST sense. It has active camouflage which can be toggled on or off as a move action, which quarters the distance at which it can be seen but makes it no longer undetectable to TEMPEST. The fighter jet is worth 15 additional points.

Killsat

| |
| Technologies: Military Vehicles | |
| AD 4 GD 4 Will 2 HP 4 Toughness 9 | |
| Descriptors [ Machine ] | |
| Size 15 meters Reach 0 meters | |
| Carrying Capacity 35000 kilograms Weight 100000 kilograms | |
| Power Storage 10 Power Regeneration 1 |
Options
You may apply any of the following options.
Thrusters (Targetable from every side other than top): HP 1, Toughness 5, AD 5. While the Thrusters are functional, the killsat's maximum Speed improves by 1250 meters, and its turning radius is halved. The killsat is worth 20 additional points.
Components
Solar Panels (Targetable on every side): HP 3, Toughness 5. Destroying the Solar Panels means that it can no longer turn or change speed, its targeting systems run out of power after a week, and it gets -1 to Power Regeneration.
Antennae (Targetable from bottom): HP 1, Toughness 6, AD 5. This provides the Killsat with a wireless connection to other wireless-capable systems to which it has line of sight. The transmitter and receiver can be calibrated such that they only detect and send messages along a 10 meter wide beam; if the other end stops being within that beam, the Killsat normally returns to wide receive mode in order to establish a new lock, although it can be commanded to do otherwise.
Movement Modes
