Axtlan's Design Sheet - Rats (Vehicles)
Rats vehicles are urban war machines built from scavenged vans, trucks, walkers, aircraft, and civilian hulls. Propulsion comes from solar batteries, recovered motion systems, atmospheric absorption, and whatever still works after modification.
The civilian shell is visible while the cult hardware takes over. Cargo bodies become weapon bays, maintenance arms become harvest tools, luxury hulls become naval platforms, and every machine is rebuilt around delivery, pressure, or removal.
Rooftop launcher van. Small deployment vehicle using solar batteries, motion recycling, and atmospheric absorption for propulsion.
Radar missile van. Frontal magnetic radar, local area navigation, rear triple-missile rack, and onboard materials for missile assembly.
High Cult transport truck. Oversized AI hauler for mechanical soldiers with a frontal blade for clearing rubble and biological obstruction.
Perception truck. Hypnotic module platform that alters perception, damages biological targets, and disrupts electronics.
Harvester refinery truck. Cargo and resource transport vehicle with de-atomizer claws feeding material directly into the processing compartment.
Beam tank. Remote or crewed heavy drone platform that fires a cable-fed energy beam built for catastrophic impact.
Four-tube launcher truck. Oversized artillery vehicle for cluster payloads and large missiles, with charging barrels for amplified strikes.
Mech tank walker. Four-legged war platform for rapid response, fitted with cannons and field-swappable turret hardware.
Improvised drone swarm. AI reconnaissance and attack drones used by civilians and cult units for surveillance, suicide runs, and long-range scouting.
Improvised jet fighter. Low-tech plasma-jet aircraft built from scavenged city materials, retaining high evasive value despite crude manufacture.
High Cult bomber. Manufactured strike aircraft carrying glowing weapon systems and long-range payload delivery.
Gunboat conversion. Civilian vessel wreck rebuilt into a low-tech combat ship run by mechanised soldiers.
Destroyer conversion. Larger yacht-derived warship using the same civilian-hull conversion logic for heavier naval firepower.
Cruiser conversion. Super-yacht hull turned into a cult cruiser and mobile prestige war platform.
