Unity Protocol Vehicles

The following is a list of common vehicles manufactured by Units and by people living within the Unity Protocol. They can be found in the aleph_cluster

Suited to driving on land across paved surfaces, or hovering off the ground. Generally, land vehicles are powered either by biodiesel, or run off of electricity stored in hyperdense graphene batteries.

Land vehicles are recommended to be no wider than two and three quarters metres. This is so they can share the 3.75 metre-wide roads comfortably with other vehicles, and fit through laneways in colonies throughout Traveller. Minimal licensing is required to drive these vehicles, and the driving aptitude tests for operation and traffic awareness are considered easier to obtain compared to air vehicles.

The Podo Compact is a two-seater car known for its small size, suited to driving around cities and towns. It is manufactured throughout the colonies of Traveller, sporting a smooth and aerodynamic design and built with fibreglasses and light alloys to get the most out of its smaller, less powerful engine.

It is often the subject of ridicule for its lack of grunt on the open road, but it is reliable, common, and easy to fix. It isn't uncommon for revheads to reinforce the frame of a Podo and replace the stock engine with something more powerful, taking advantage of the car's light construction to go faster.

The Kestrel Dual-Sport is a motorcycle is a biodiesel fuelled motorcycle manufactured in Sargasso and Noir. It comes in a variety of colours and exterior styles and liveries, but most advertisements give the bike a Crimson coat of metallic paint.

It is renowned and loved by revheads for its power to weight balance, controllability, and most importantly: customisation. Many Greaseheart mechanics have had a Kestrel enter their garages at least once, or own one themselves. They are frequently installed with autonomous control mechanisms to allow users to 'call' the motorcycle to them.

A Kolder Gorgul is a heavy framed off-road, hill-climbing motorcycle manufactured on Bias. It is recognisable with one chained wheel at the front, and a monstrous-looking half-track behind it. It is favoured in snowy or mountainous regions where roads are treacherous, slippery, or are merely suggestions in an otherwise dusty plain.

Oodling with torque, roaring like a tiger, and hugging the road with its half-track, the Gorgul is capable of climbing and sticking to slippery surfaces that would throw other vehicles off. However, it isn't intended to be driven for long periods on urban roads, paved surfaces, gardens, or indoors.

The following vehicles are propelled by anti-gravity technology to fly above traffic, and around the surface of a moon without leaving the atmosphere. Some licenses, lessons, and checks are required before a pilot can be cleared to use an air vehicle, as crashes and accidents are more likely to cause injury or fatality.

These space ships fit a single individual or up to six, and are usually suited to flying between Traveller's Moons, or other planets in the Aleph Cluster]]. More luxuriant models of personal ships feature living space on board analogous to a yacht, while others have ample cargo space. Some may .

Personal Space Ships are not large enough to mount FTL-capable engines and the required subsystems necessary to ensure safe FTL travel.
