Gear:

• D-Drive
• Matter/Antimatter Power Plant
• Ejection Seat: This accessory allows the vehicle's crew and passengers to safely disembark while it is still in mid-flight. It can be used as the vehicle is being destroyed.
• Shield Regenerator (x2): This accessory Increases the vehicle's shield regeneration rate by 1.5 times.
• BSE Virus Generator (X=3): This accessory allows a vehicle's crew to attempt to infect a target craft with a disabling computer virus as an attack action. The Difficulty of the attack action equals 25 times X, where X is a whole number from one to three. If successful, the target craft is immobilized and its shields drop for a number of seconds equal to the degree of success. The effects of this accessory may be blocked by a successful Signal Filter Communications Save.
• Signal Filter: If infection with the BSE Virus is indicated, a Difficulty 25 Communications roll may be made in order to avoid its effects.

Description: The ML3b, or Military Heavy, is the Tri-System Military's sledgehammer. Although five Stream Laser MkIIs and six missile mounts give it excellent striking power, its lack of speed and large profile make it a poor dogfighter.
