Designed and deployed in YE 30, the Ketsurui Zaibatsu's Light Utility Truck is a standardized, mass-production version of the various types of Old Utility Truck. It is fielded by the Star Army of Yamatai and the United Outer Colonies Peacekeeping Forces; captured LUTs have also found widespread use in the NMX.
Type 30 utility trucks are open-top 4 x 4 trucks with seats for two people. The driver sits on the left side while a passenger sits on the right. Behind the seats is the cargo bed, where the soldiers can store supplies and equipment. The trucks utilize a Durandium Alloy unibody construction and are quite durable. Their windshields are made of Transparent Durandium. The trucks are equipped with seat belts.
The standard utility truck can fit into the rear compartment of a Fox T4 Combat Aeroshuttle if the seats and supply chests are removed. Up to four can fit into a Raccoon T7 Transport Shuttle.
A gun mount is available for the trucks. It is an rounded rectangular arch that sits over the front of the cargo bed, just behind the driver and co-driver seats. A gunner can stand in the back and fire a mounted GP-12 Phased Pulse Rifle, Type 30 35mm Machine Gun, Ke-M4-W2901 Light Armor Service Rifle, or other weapon.
The trucks are available in different varieties to fit different mission needs:
These standard models have maximum cargo room.
