Kraven-HX Armored Courier Rig
The Kraven-HX Armored Courier Rig is a mid-weight, low-profile armored courier rig manufactured by Ravvaar Motor Vehicles specifically for rapid deployment through volatile sectors of Taz’Vaar. Designed in response to repeated contract ambushes and relay interdictions in the Lower districts, the Kraven-HX emphasizes speed, containment, and modular resilience over brute-force intimidation. Its hex-angled outer shell is coated in a layered EM-scatter composite, deflecting standard targeting pulses while absorbing kinetic shock through a reinforced cage-frame undercarriage. Unlike bulkier RMV haulers, the Kraven is narrow enough to slip between gutted arterial lanes and subterranean bypasses, with four-wheel autonomous calibration that adapts in real time to terrain and threat modeling. Twin-cycle energy cells provide redundant propulsion, allowing it to maintain full power even during sabotage events or partial grid collapse. Each unit is embedded with a tamper-kill navcore, a blind deployment beacon, and encoded cargo latches keyed only to contract-authorized biometric input.
Often assigned to asset recovery teams, arbitration couriers, or black-level document runners, the Kraven-HX is best known for surviving eight confirmed ambush attempts without breach. Its standard configuration seats one driver, one gunner-observer, and two secured cargo bays—each pressure-sealed, EMP-hardened, and internally monitored. Upgrade packages range from autofoam riot shielding to integrated shard-drone launchers, depending on route volatility and syndicate priority class. RMV engineers refer to it internally as “the coffin that doesn’t wait,” referencing its habit of accelerating toward blockades rather than away. Ownership is restricted to authorized Syndicate affiliates, and field recovery crews are instructed to destroy any disabled Kraven units before rival syndicates can claim the data core. Though officially a utility vehicle, the Kraven-HX has become an icon of enforced neutrality on the streets of Taz’Vaar—an armored blur moving between danger and delivery, bearing the weight of contracts no one else will touch.
