SPECIAL FEATURES
- None
Strengths:
- Electronics Shielded: The driving systems, targeting, scanners, etc were shielded for the event of an EMP
- All Terrain: The G7 AT-GC could be used in most terrains.
- Open Air: The front half of the Murra was open air and thus left the driver/shotgun passenger open to the elements and enemy fire or attacks.
- Fuel: If excessive damage is taken or the fuel tanks are directly hit with slugthrowers or blasters the groundcar could violently explode
The G7 AT-GC was a military groundcar created by Daw Motors. After the company bought itself out from MandalMotors and moved its headquarters from Bothawui to current CEO's homeworld of Corellia, the company changed its policy on military applications. Proud to be a supporter of local communities and the new independence of the Corellian Confederation, Jecht's shift in policy lost it the support of several Bothawui suppliers. However due to his relationship with MandalMotors CEO Zeke Farthen he was able to secure parts and material lines for their first military vehichle.
The G7 AT-GC was an armored groundcar for use by the Corellian Military and colonial defense forces. As one of the few post-spaceflight societies that still widely used groundcars for transport Daw Motors used its experience working with MandalMotors to produce the open canopy vehicle. The G7 AT-GC had seats for one driver and three passengers with a hardpoint for a manned repeating laser cannon turret (courtesy of BlasTech). The tires were highly adaptable, allowing it to traverse a myriad of terrain, as its name would suggest. Its electronics and computer systems were shielded and thus could function in areas affected by EMPs, though Ion weapons could still disable them.
The car was powered by a liquid fuel derivative of Tibanna which made them highly volatile when under extreme heat conditions or if exposed fuel tanks were hit with blasters. However because of its frequent use in military logistics chains and easy manipulation this was seen as an acceptable loss. It was for this reason that the vehichle featured a half open canopy design, with its rear cab being fully protected with standing space for the turret operation when the hardpoint was utilized. A civilian model was also produced which lacked the hardpoint but kept the same armor, speed, and traded the weapon hardpoint for more storage capacity though also at the expense of a slightly more cramped rear cab.
