[Onno Meyer]

  This is a weekly posting with GURPS vehicles (and the like) to the 
GURPSnet mailing list. I grant the permission for all non-commercial 
redistribution of my work, but I would like to know if you put it on 
a website or the like. With a slight delay, old vehicles appear
at   http://omeyer.gmxhome.de/GURPSnet_files/summary.html

Sharushid Beagle XII Safari Grav Platform v1.0 (GURPS Traveller TL12)
  Copyright 2006 by Onno Meyer

  The Beagle takes a Vargr concept, the infamous corsair grav platform, 
and mates it with modern Imperial technology. In the close quarters of 
a hunting blind, the cylindrical platform is easier to maneuver than a 
more conventional grav bike. The Beagle XII is designed for the use by 
beaters as well, so it lacks adaptive camouflage. 
  The power cell lasts for 5 hours at full speed.
