Designed by Arla Susni with the assistance of some of the best house engineers before she left Alula. Integrates everything she has learned about combat casualties over her career. It is an imposing fortress, with high walls and upper recieiving bays, suitable for collecting casualties delivered by high speed flying drones.
Inside the thick walls and behind powerful shields is a fully functional hospital with 2500 beds, able to handle battlefield casualties. Wounded individuals are afforded immediate and high level medical care, with all the healing arts the galaxy can provide. In a full emergency, the hospital can handle up to ten thousand, though only for a limited time until relief can be provided and patients moved.
Tested in full battlefield conditions before being deployed to Relief Force, the MHR performed admirably in resisting even direct heavy artillery fire, while still providing full functionality. The vehicle's power systems are redundant and overcompensated, to ensure power is never interrupted, no matter how hard a pounding the external shields may be taking. The vehicle can also safely evacuate from a combat zone even under fire.
If an enemy force does manage to break in the door, and it is a very tough door, they will find themselves a cavernous interior space, filled with a large number of unarmed civilians, either wounded or medical personnel.
Importantly, the entire design is created to be utterly useless as an offensive tool of any kind; short of landing it on top of someone, which would be frowned upon naturally. The outside is sheer surfaces, with no ingress points except for the casualty recieiving bays on the upper tiers. There would be no cover whatsoever for offensive infantry. Likewise, the interior is a hospital, with no military function at all.
An integral part of Arla's Relief Force, the MH is fit to purpose as a casualty evacuation point that can deploy right to the front lines of any conflict.
