Design details
The Jackrabbit is a very fast scout vehicle designed for one pilot. While it normally has a grenade launcher or machine gun the Jackrabbit can be equipped with an M68 Gauss cannon.[2] When decelerating the Jackrabbit's front splits into two separate wheels to form a tripod and retain stability. When bursts of speed are required, the two wheels pinion together automatically.[4]
Operational history
The Jackrabbit was used by the Surakan Militia Volunteers during the Battle of Carrow.[2] Cheap and easy to manufacture, the Jackrabbit's design blueprint was one of the first to be integrated by the Spirit of Fire after Isabel's rescue on March 28, 2559, for use against the Banished on Installation 00.[4][1]
