This is the main imperial service version of the wheeled ATV concept. It is the fourth such design in line to be adapted.

It is powered by a nuclear plant to give it independence from fueling, has long term life support for the exploration crew, gravitic assist to keep ground pressure low, basic armament and self defense systems.

The choice of a wheeled vehicle over a grav vehicle for exploration roles comes from the need to be stable in hostile unexplored conditions.
