The standard New Star League ground transport is a vehicle is able to act as a light armored unit, a troop transport. Here the internal space behind the pilot has been filled with additional power and equipment, making the X variant far more dangerous than the standard model. No longer viable as a transport, it serves as a forward scout.
Weapons remain the same in the X variant; two twin artillery grade flak cannons, each mounted on a telescoping strut able lay down multiple fields of fire, in cooperation with blasts from its overhead ion cannon.
Where the X variant walker excels over the standard is in its speed and maneuverability. Able to far outrun the standard models, it is also equipped with both repulsorlifts and a thruster array. Having the ability to fly in addition to increased movement speed and agility makes this unique version far superior on a battlefield. Added to this is the vehicle's stealth coating and cloaking device, allowing it to function as a forward scout.
Currently the X variant is owned and operated by a cousin of Arla Susni, Kara, who named the vehicle 'Petit Chienne'. Usually deployed as a forward command vehicle, acting as a scout for the slower models, it is well able to move away from danger, and can still boast the same devastating three-pronged attack the AT standard is known for.
