	The Terrain I was the first product to be developed by Detroit 
Motors after several american manufacturers merged in 2023 to compete with
Japanese/German auto-conglomerate.  Versions II and III were developed
for the military as a light recon vehicle.  The Stellar Resource Committee
had a version custom designed for planetary exploration.  The Terrain IV,
is similar to its predecessors.  It has a very stable 6-Wheel Design, with
lighter armor than the origional.  The light weapons turrent has been replaced
with a rotating sensor turrent, using the experimental multi sensor from
Dynotek.  Also included is a long range radio communicator which can reach
orbital satellites.  The mini-computer runs sensor analysis and navigation
programs.  It also contains a detailed local database, which the explorers
may be adding to.
