Details

The third in line for the TS-14 series. This is Athena with links as the God of wisdom, courage and strategic warfare (among other things), this is aptly the Scout variant of the TS-14 Series of the Squirrel Industries MCV (Master Class Vehicle) project; where specialist vehicles are made from a common platform, in this case, known as the TS-14 platform.

Athena has a top speed of 99 MPH and 2 modes of travel:

• Quick Conventional Travel (QCT)
• Stealth Mode

With the two modes combining to give optimal performance at the cost of extra fuel.

QCT Mode revs the engine up close to max RPM and allows for operation of the headlights and taillights, while Stealth Mode reduces RPM/Horsepower, with the advantage of much quieter (albeit slower) performance with headlights/taillights turned off.

Athena is the second most heavily armed variant, second only to the PSO Ares variant. While similar, the Scout variant is a more stripped down and faster version of the PSO variant. By contrast, Athena has a turret with only 1 main large gun mounted on it, providing a total of 21 explosive rounds to knock out any opposing threat. For further defensive purposes, the turret houses countermeasures although, no RDW is installed on the turret, instead two forward mounted machine guns can be found mounted on the front of the hull, as well as this, 2 mines can be found mounted on the rear of the tank. The MCV also has 2 Ground to Air Launchers installed, which utilise custom Squirrel Industries missiles to lock on and dispose of enemy threats.
