Light Patrol Vehicle

Description

The LPV was designed for use by militia and para-military police forces in counter-insurgency and counter-terrorist operations. Its limited range makes it unsuited to long-range patrols, and its thin armor and small main weapon make it unsuitable for use against main-force military units, but the LPV serves admirably well against irregular units, and those equipped only with small arms.

The vehicle is typically equipped with a 2cm autocannon, but for some missions this may be replaced with a 7mm gatling gun or chemical smoke generator (producing anti-riot gasses).

The LPV is manufactured by Instellarms, and by dozens of smaller firms under license.
