A Light Strike Vehicle is a small and unarmoured military vehicle used for fast hit-and-run style raids.
Fictional History[]
Seven Ancient Wonders[]
When the Commander-in-Chief's In Extremis Force located Hamilcar's Refuge, they brought with them a few Light Strike Vehicles, and sent them to follow their tunnel-boring vehicle into the excavation tunnel.
Once the two Pieces of the Golden Capstone were collected and loaded into the tunnel-borer, Judah and his men entered the LSVs and began escorting the TBV out of the Refuge.
The Six Sacred Stones[]
During his time living on the Great-Sandy Desert Farm, Jack West Jr obtained a pair of Light Strike Vehicles, which he stored in a barn in case he needed a quick escape.
That day came when a contingent of Chinese soldiers (whom were supposed to be participating in the Talisman Sabre military exercises) began parachuting down onto the farm in order to claim the Firestone. Once they had hastily gathered their belongings, Jack, Zoe Kissane, Lily West and Alby Calvin rushed into the barn where the LSVs were kept, and the two adults began leading the Chinese on a chase through the various traps Jack had set up, using the LSVs greater maneuverability to their advantage.
When they reached the highway, Jack and Zoe drove the LSVs onto the taxiing Halicarnassus and locked them in place within the plane's hold. While they were being pursued by Chinese fighter jets, Jack and Zoe ran out of ammunition, and so Jack improvised by having Sky Monster take the Halicarnassus vertical, before releasing the safety catches securing the LSVs. Though the first one missed, the second LSV struck the plane as it fell, ending the pursuit.
The Four Legendary Kingdoms[]
In the course of his various preparations for the fourth Great Games of the Hydra, Vacheron obtained a number of Light Strike Vehicles to be used as a modern form of chariot for the Fifth Challenge.
During the Games, Vacheron ordered the six Champions who were participating in the Fifth Challenge (Jack, Shane Schofield, Gregory Brigham, Renzin Depon, Jeffrey Edwards and DeShawn Monroe) to select two of their companions to join them in their LSVs for the battle race.
During the race, several of the LSVs were severely damaged or destroyed as they fought off the attempts from Spartan APC-driving Fear and Hydra and the Typhoon trucks loaded with minotaurs, all while making their own attempts to claim the Golden Sphere.
Attributes[]
The LSV is entirely unarmored, and offers no protection from small arms fire. The driver and passengers sit side by side in front, and in some configurations the LSV has a gunner's seat sitting in an elevated rear-central position in front of the engine.
