Whiptail The L63
"Whiptail" is a medium MGV built by JPS at their La Paz, California facility.
It was designed as an operational companion to the L35 Chameleon, with which it
often operates in great numbers. The Whiptail's most prominent features are its
hammerhead style main armor shield and the GE1200 tube-rail gun , the rear half
of which protrudes from the L63's hull like a tail helping to give the
L63 its name.
The Whiptail typically operates in large numbers and is
probably one of the most numerous MGVs used considering its relative
sophistication. Its combination of armor, offensive fire and operational range
make it a dangerous weapon, especially in the large numbers in which it is
normally deployed. Its rail gun is not nearly as powerful as that in the
Chameleon, but with armor and numbers on its side, these units often get in
amongst enemy formations where their point-blank range rail gun fire can be
lethal.
Like all other Californian MGV units, the L63 is named after a
species of lizard. |
