GALACTA 25: Kenner Star Wars Mini-rigs join the fight! Part 1

It is time to travel to the war torn galaxy of GALACTA 25! The next few posts will center on some vehicles for use in battles between the Evil Galactan Empire and the hardy forces of the Rebellion.

We shall start with a Mini-rig used by both sides equally, the PDT-8. Otherwise known as the Personnel Deployment Transport-8. A trio of Planetary Strikers will put this vehicle to work!

The PDT-8 is powered by a large pair of RAAG (Rocket Assisted Ant-Gravity) Thrusters, giving the PDT-8 a movement range of 24". Like single figures using a RAAG belt, the PDT-8 makes it's movement by essentially jumping from one location to another. The PDT-8 is allowed to jump from its starting location and "leap" over blocking terrain features, rough ground, or other figures without penalty and land up to 24 inches away.

The PDT-8 can deploy a single squad (6 figures) in the turn after it lands from a RAAG assisted Jump. However piloting a PDT-8 is tricky, and should the PDT land in Blocking terrain or Rough ground it must make a 6+ save or crash, rendering the vehicle useless for the rest of the battle.

The PDT-8 is a light transport vehicle and therefore has an armor save equal to 8+. It is immune to damage from Lazer/Flame pistols.

For defense the PDT-8 is armed with a pair of  Lazer Assault Rifles. A figure must remain in the craft to make use of these weapons. The guns can only hit targets in front of or behind the PDT-8 in 90 degree arcs.
