-==== Capabilities ====
+First used on the outer perimeter of certain cities with a high megafauna danger, these drones were capable enough of dealing with indecent terrain that many were able to be transferred to colonies without great modification except for engine components. One the frontier these large drones began to be used to augment offensive operations as transport of larger vehicles was sometimes impossible, and even the lightest dropships were able to deploy Burro's to troops on the ground, albeit sometimes with difficulty.
+Expansions to the Burro's weaponry and capabilities were quickly performed, field modifications becoming standard as soldiers adapted the drones from capable monster defence and gun platforms, into supply carriers, mobile air defence, and lethal tank hunters. These additions crept the weight of the vehicle up until eventually the Burro Light, and Burro Heavy had to be specified.

+**OR**
+== VC-6 6mm Rotary Canon ==

+A light weight firepower enhancement, two single shot missile cells are attached to the side of the turret and are fired with self guidance.
+== 16x 60mm Missile Rack (OPTIONAL) ==
+A heavy weight missile expansion a large missile rack is fitted to the top of the turret, and can be loaded with a variety of missile types. Often this is used as a dedicated anti-armor or air defense platform. This expansion requires the Burro be deployed from medium dropships at least.
+== MDW-1 Microwave Discouragement Weapon (OPTIONAL) ==
+Attached to one of the sides of the turret, the MDW is a crowd control device based on microwave radiation to create extreme discomfort unarmored persons, causing either great distraction or making them retreat to a safe location.
