Phoenix Logs/UNSC Units/Bison


 * Heavy—duty cryotech support vehicle.


 * The Bison is a hero vehicle available to Serina. In Serina's employ it is a heavily-
 * armored and shielded vehicle that synergizes well with other cryotech vehicles
 * and abilities. It is fitted with a powerful Coldsnap launcher, which fires
 * experimental cryo shells that damage and chill enemies caught in its area—of—
 * effect. The launcher can be upgraded, which increases the launcher's range, rate
 * of fire, and chill effect. When the Bison deploys it leeches ambient heat energy
 * to augment its defensive systems, creating a chill aura that affects nearby
 * enemies. These systems can also be upgraded to further boost defenses and
 * the area of the chill aura.


 * Bisons are versatile, durable vehicles that served in most groundside combat
 * elements of the old Colonial Military Authority [CMA] in a number of roles,
 * including armored personnel carrier and recovery vehicle. It remains in service
 * with several UNSC Army units and local militias [such as the Sedran Colonial
 * Guard]. The variant designed by Serina uses the proven chassis as a testbed
 * which holds a vacuum energy siphon, scientific instrumentation, and cryotech
 * weaponry in one mobile package. As there are no Bisons aboard the Spirit of
 * Fire at present, Isabel has looked at improving and repurposing the siphon with
 * her own research data on Forerunner vacuum energy cells, but the delicacy and
 * intricacy of Serina's manufacturing template complicates this effort.
