Explorer
this was Hydrospeare's submergible exploration vehicle. The Explorer was designed at the request of the Empire, which was looking for an amphibious assault vehicle. The Hydrospeare design was unable to create a craft which was swift underwater while mobile on land, so the Empire funded the underwater piece. The 9.1-meter long craft is only 6 meters in height, and much of that is in the legs. This meant that the crew space was minimized, making operation close and cramped. Operation of the Explorer required a pilot, co-pilot, and a pair of gunners. The Explorer was propelled on six legs, and was armed with a turret-mounted Arakyd 5-XV cannon and a Taim & Bak SC4 cannon. A Siep-Irol SensAll sensor array provided data about the Explorer's surroundings.
