Mass Effect Vehicles
"It's got a cop motor, a 440 cubic inch plant, it's got cop tires, cop suspensions, cop shocks. It's a model made before catalytic converters so it'll run good on regular gas. What do you say, is it the new Bluesmobile or what?" - Elwood Blues, The Blues Brothers
Rovers
The most common vehicles used throughout the galaxy are rovers. Rovers come in all shapes and sizes, from two seat sport, civilian commercial haulers and military APCs.
Though they are designed for different uses, all rovers function on the same principal: independently suspended wheels attached to a central body, powered by a hydrogen-oxygen fuel cell. Some also have small mass effect generators that allow them to move faster, make higher jumps or operate normally on planets with wildly differing gravities.
The three basic types of rovers are Civil, Law Enforcement and Military.
Civilian model rovers are usually built and designed for comfort and easy of use. They range in uses from personal to commercial and even sports.
Law Enforcement models have better armors, more responsive controls and higher top speeds. Civil police forces, militias and security groups usually employ these. They are usually more expensive than the civilian models.
Military grade rovers are the fastest, most durable and come with weapons. These range in uses from armored personnel carriers, fast perimeter defense and powerful yet slow mobil artillery unit. These are never sold to the public, which of course means they are difficult but not impossible to come by.
